Special Tool(s):

Special Tool(s)

Disconnect - Type I

WARNING:
- Do not carry lighted tobacco or open flame of any type when working on or near any fuel-related components. Highly flammable vapors are always present and can ignite. Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal injury.
- Do not carry personal electronic devices such as cell phones, pagers or audio equipment of any type when working on or near any fuel-related components. Highly flammable mixtures are always present and may be ignited. Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal injury.

CAUTION:
- If the liquid or vapor tube is damaged (torn, holes or delaminated), a new tube assembly must be installed. Do not use aftermarket sleeving. Do not re-adhere loose sleeving material.
- When reusing liquid or vapor tube quick connect couplings, make sure to use compressed air to remove any foreign material from the connector locking tab area before separating the quick connect coupling from the tube. Apply clean engine oil to the end of the tube before inserting the quick connect coupling onto the tube.
- Fuel injection equipment is manufactured to very precise tolerances and fine clearances. It is therefore essential that absolute cleanliness is observed when working with these components. Always install blanking plugs to any open orifices or tubes.

1. If servicing a liquid fuel tube quick connect coupling, release the fuel system pressure.







2. Depress the locking tab and release the quick connect coupling from the tube.
