Read the following warnings before performing the fuel system services: Fuel vapor is hazardous. It can easily ignite, causing serious injury and damage. Always keep sparks and flames away from fuel. Highly pressurized fuel may spray out if the fuel line is cut. Due to the following dangers occurring with a fuel spray, always complete the [Fuel Line Safety Procedure] to prevent the fuel from spraying. (Refer to BEFORE SERVICE PRECAUTION (VIN Y) .) Fuel may cause irritation if it comes in contact with skin and eyes. If fuel ignites and causes a fire, it may lead to serious injury or death, and damage to property and facilities. Fuel is highly flammable and dangerous. Fuel line spills and leakage can cause serious injury or death, and damage to equipment. Always refer to the [Quick Release Connector Removal/Installation (fuel system)] before performing the fuel hose installation, and execute the [Fuel Leakage Inspection] after installation. (Refer to QUICK RELEASE CONNECTOR (FUEL SYSTEM) REMOVAL/INSTALLATION (VIN Y) .) (Refer to AFTER SERVICE PRECAUTION (VIN Y) .)
