Removal Procedure
Caution: In order to Reduce the Risk of Fire and Personal Injury:
| • | If nylon fuel pipes are nicked, scratched or damaged during installation,
Do Not attempt to repair the sections of the nylon fuel pipes. Replace them. |
| • | When installing new fuel pipes, Do Not hammer directly on the
fuel harness body clips as it may damage the nylon pipes resulting in a possible
fuel leak. |
| • | Always cover nylon vapor pipes with a wet towel before using a
torch near them. Also, never expose the vehicle to temperatures higher than
115°C (239°F) for more than one hour, or more than 90°C (194°F)
for any extended period. |
| • | Before connecting fuel pipe fittings, always apply a few drops
of clean engine oil to the male pipe ends. 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.) |
Notice: Do not attempt to straighten any kinked nylon fuel lines.
Replace any kinked nylon fuel feed or return pipes in order to prevent damage
to the vehicle.
