Safety Precautions When Working On Fuel Supply System

CAUTION:

There Is a Risk of Injury Due to the Fuel Being under Pressure.

The fuel system is under pressure. Injuries are possible from fuel spraying out.

Before opening the fuel system:

-- Wear protective eyewear.

-- Wear safety gloves.

-- Reduce the pressure: place clean cloths around the connection point and carefully open the connection point.

CAUTION:

When the battery is connected, the door contact switch activates the fuel pump when opening the driver door. Leaking fuel can ignite and start a fire.

-- Before opening the fuel system, interrupt the power supply to the fuel pump.
