Fuel Pipe Fitting Warning
Warning
Always apply a few drops of clean engine oil to the male pipe ends before connecting the fuel pipe fittings in order to reduce the risk of fire and personal injury. This will ensure proper reconnection and prevent a possible fuel leak. During normal operation, the O-rings located in the female connector will swell and may prevent proper reconnection if not lubricated.
WARNING: Adhere to the following procedures any time the fuel system is being worked on in order to reduce the risk of fire and personal injury:
Keep a dry chemical (Class B) fire extinguisher near the work area.
Place a "CAUTION FLAMMABLE" sign in the work area.
Work in a well-ventilated area. Do not smoke, and keep sparks and open flames away.
Wear eye protection.
Use caution when working near the catalytic converter to prevent the possibility of burns or fire. (The temperatures within the converter can exceed 537 ° C (1000 ° F).)
Relieve the fuel system pressure prior to disconnecting fuel system components.
Disconnect the negative battery cable except for tests where battery voltage is required.
Use a suitable container to store or catch fuel.
Do not replace fuel pipe with fuel hose.
Plug all disconnected fuel line fittings and hoses.
After making any fuel system repairs ALWAYS inspect for fuel leaks.
