Vehicle Damage Warnings

^ Handle all fuel injection related parts with care as they may easily be damaged.

^ Use new gaskets or O-rings when installing fuel lines or injectors.

^ Lightly lubricate O-rings and flare connections with clean 30 weight engine oil.

^ Check for leaks after servicing fuel system, and correct as needed.

^ Do not operate the fuel pump without fuel.

^ Do not depress the accelerator pedal on fuel injected models while trying to start the car.

^ Do not use gear lubricant or brake fluid to lubricate fuel system connections and O-rings.

HOSES AND CLAMPS
Fuel injected vehicles use specially constructed hoses. When replacing hoses, only use hoses marked EFM/EFI.

When installing hoses, ensure that they are routed away from contact with other vehicle components that could rub against them and cause failure. Avoid contact with clamps or other components that cause abrasions or scuffing. Ensure that rubber hoses are properly routed and avoid heat sources.

The hose clamps have rolled edges to prevent the clamp from cutting into the hose. Only use clamps that are original equipment or equivalent. Other types of clamps may cut into the hoses and cause high pressure fuel leaks. Tighten hose clamps to 1 Nm (10 in lb) torque.
