Fuel Tank: Service Precautions

When servicing the fuel system observe the following cautions:
1. Place a "CAUTION: FLAMMABLE" sign in the workshop.
2. Furnish the shop with the proper fire extinguisher.
3. Disconnect the battery ground cable before any service work is done.
4. Place a suitable container under the connection to be opened.
5. Slowly open fuel connections, allow pressure to escape, and catch spilled fuel in container.

NOTE: If available, use system bleed valve (schrader) to relieve pressure.

6. Disconnect line or hose, then plug all fittings.
7. Put any drained fuel in an explosive-proof container and put the lid on securely.
