- PRECAUTION CAUTION:
- Before working on the fuel system, disconnect the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal.
- Do not smoke or be near an open flame when working on the fuel system.
- Keep gasoline away from rubber or leather parts.

- DISCHARGE FUEL SYSTEM PRESSURE CAUTION:
- Do not disconnect any part of the fuel system until you have discharged the fuel system pressure.
- Even after discharging the fuel pressure, place a piece of cloth or equivalent over fittings as you separate them to reduce the risk of fuel spray on yourself or in the engine compartment.
