Removal Procedure

WARNING:

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.
