Fuel Pressure: Service Precautions

WARNING:
^ To reduce the risk of fire and personal injury, it is necessary to relieve the fuel system pressure before servicing fuel system components.

^ After relieving fuel system pressure, a small amount of fuel may be released when servicing fuel pipes or connections. In order to reduce the chance of personal injury, cover fuel pipe fittings with a shop towel before disconnecting, to catch any fuel that may leak out. Place the towel in an approved container when disconnect is completed.
