Notice:
• Do not attempt to straighten kinked nylon pipes. Replace any kinked
nylon pipes in order to prevent damage to the vehicle. • Do not attempt to repair sections of nylon pipes. Replace damaged
nylon pipes. • Replace the vapor pipes with original equipment or parts that
meet GM specifications. • Replace the vapor hoses with original equipment or parts meeting
GM specifications. Use only reinforced fuel-resistant hose identified with
the word Fluoroelastomer or GM 6163M on the hose.
Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.
