Caution: Gasoline or gasoline vapors are highly flammable. A fire could occur if an ignition source is present. Never drain or store gasoline or diesel fuel in an open container, due to the possibility of fire or explosion. Have a dry chemical (Class B) fire extinguisher nearby.
Caution: Always wear safety goggles when working with fuel in order to protect the eyes from fuel splash.
Caution: Fuel Vapors can collect while servicing fuel system parts in enclosed areas such as a trunk. To reduce the risk of fire and increased exposure to vapors:
| • | Use forced air ventilation such as a fan set outside of the trunk. |
| • | Plug or cap any fuel system openings in order to reduce fuel vapor formation. |
| • | Clean up any spilled fuel immediately. |
| • | Avoid sparks and any source of ignition. |
| • | Use signs to alert others in the work area that fuel system work is in process. |
Important: DO NOT force the hand operated pump into the fuel tank. Insert the hand operated pump carefully into the fuel tank. Forcing the hand operated pump into the fuel tank can cause the fuel pump to dislocate from the fuel pump assembly.
- Remove the fuel filler cap.
- Insert a hand operated pump through the fuel filler neck pipe in order to the drain the fuel from the fuel tank.
- Drain the fuel tank with the hand operated pump.
- Install the fuel filler cap.
