NOTE: When servicing fuel systems observe the following precautions:

1. Handle all fuel related parts with care, as they may easily be damaged.
2. Use new gaskets or O-rings when installing fuel lines or injectors (if equipped).
3. Lightly lubricate O-rings and flare connections with clean 30 weight engine oil.
4. Check for leaks after servicing fuel system, and correct as needed.
