PROPER USE OF THIS SERVICE MANUAL,
TOOLS AND EQUIPMENT
To reduce the potential for injury to the tech-
nician or others and to reduce damage to the
vehicle during service repairs the technician
should observe the following steps:
The service procedures defined in this
manual, when followed, have been found
to be a safe and efficient process to repair
the fuel system. In some cases special
tools may be required to perform the ne-
cessary procedures to safely remove and
replace a failed component.
The installed IMPCO fuel system has
been certified with the Environmental Pro-
tection Agency (EPA) and the California
Air Resources Board (CARB) and com-
plies with the regulation in effect at the
time of certification. When servicing the
fuel and emission control system you
should follow all the recommended ser-
vice and repair procedures to insure the
fuel and emissions system is operating as
designed and certified. Purposely or kno-
wingly defeating or disabling any part or
the fuel and emission system may be in
violation of the anti-tampering provision of
the EPA’s Clean Air Act.
Tools identified in this manual with the
prefix “J” or “BT” can be procured through

Tools identified in this manual with a prefix

IMPORTANT
It is important to remember that there may be
a combination of Metric and Imperial fasten-
ers used in the installation of the IMPCO fuel
system. Check to insure proper fit when using
a socket or wrench on any fastener to prevent
damage to the component being removed or
injury from “slipping off” the fastener.
The IMPCO fuels system utilizes fuel lines
hoses with swivel connections which attach to
fixed mating connectors. You should always
use a wrench of the proper size on both the
swivel and fixed fitting to prevent turning of
the fixed fitting. Turning of the fixed fitting may
cause a “twisting” or “kinking” of the hose and
may result in a restriction of the fuel line or a
leak.
