Before servicing any part of the fuel system, stop engine and
disconnect the battery. Drain the fuel system completely. Use an
approved container to collect and store fuel. Wipe up any spillage
immediately. Material used to contain spillage must be disposed
of in an approved receptacle. Any fuel system service must be
performed in a well‑ventilated area. Inspect any completed service
work for sign of fuel leakage.
