Rules Of Cleanliness

CAUTION: Whenever working on the fuel supply and injection systems, carefully observe the following following rules of cleanliness:

- Thoroughly clean fuel system line and hose connections and the surrounding area before disconnecting.

- Place removed components on clean surface and cover. Use plastic sheeting or paper. Do not use fluffy rags that could leave lint.

- Carefully cover over or seal any components that have been opened if repairs are not done immediately.

- Install only clean parts.


Do not remove replacement parts from packaging until immediately before they are to be installed.

Do not use parts that have been stored without packaging (e.g. from your toolbox, etc.).

- When the fuel system is opened:
- Avoid using compressed air whenever possible.
- Avoid moving the vehicle if possible.
