Fuel Hoses and Pipes: Service Precautions
WARNING: In order to Reduce the Risk of Fire and Personal Injury:
-
If nylon fuel pipes are nicked, scratched or damaged during installation, Do Not attempt to repair the sections of the nylon fuel pipes.
Replace them.
-
When installing new fuel pipes, Do Not hammer directly on the fuel harness body clips as it may damage the nylon pipes resulting in a
possible fuel leak
-
Always cover nylon vapor pipes with a wet towel before using a torch near them. Also, never expose the vehicle to temperatures higher
than 115° C (239° F) for more than one hour or more than 90° C (194° F) for any extended period.
-
Before connecting fuel pipe fittings, always apply a few drops of clean engine oil to the male pipe ends. This will ensure proper
reconnection and prevent a possible fuel leak. (During normal operation, the O-rings located in the female connector will swell and may
prevent proper reconnection if not lubricated)
