Fuel & EVAP Pipe Caution
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 249 other vehicles, including the 2004 Saturn Vue, 2004 Saturn L300, 2004 Saturn Ion Red Line, 2004 Saturn Ion 3, and 2004 Saturn Ion 2. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION:
In order to reduce the risk of fire & personal injury observe the following items:
- Replace all nylon fuel pipes that are nicked, scratched or damaged during installation, do not attempt to repair the sections of the nylon fuel pipes.
- Do not hammer directly on the fuel harness body clips when installing new fuel pipes. Damage to the nylon pipes may result in a 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.
- Apply a few drops of clean engine oil to the male pipe ends before connecting fuel pipe fittings. This will ensure proper reconnection & prevent a possible fuel leak. (During normal operation, the O-rings located in the female connector will swell & may prevent proper reconnection if not lubricated).
