Tools Required
J 45878 Combustible Gas Detector
Removal Procedure
Caution: Natural gas is highly flammable. In order to reduce the risk of fire
and personal injury, keep sparks, flames, and smoking materials away from
the vehicle while you perform the Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) fuel system
service.
Caution: The Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) system operates at pressures up to
24820 kpa (3600 psi). Relieve the CNG fuel system pressure before
servicing CNG fuel system components in order to reduce the risk of fire and
personal injury.
- Relieve the CNG fuel system pressure. Refer to
Fuel Pressure Relief
.
- Disconnect the negative battery cable. Refer to
Battery Negative Cable Disconnection and Connection
