Fuel Handling Precautions: General
Always have a fire extinguisher containing FOAM, CO2, GAS or POWDER close at hand when handling or draining fuel or when dismantling fuel systems. Fire extinguishers should also be located in areas where fuel containers are stored.
Always disconnect the vehicle battery before carrying out dismantling or draining work on a fuel system.
CAUTION:
To prevent damage to the navigation computer software, a waiting period of two minutes must elapse after the ignition is switched off before the battery leads are disconnected.
Whenever fuel is being handled, drained or stored, or when fuel systems are being dismantled, all forms of ignition must be extinguished or removed; any headlamps must be flameproof and kept clear of spillage.
WARNING:
NO ONE should be permitted to repair components associated with fuel without first having specialist training.
WARNING:
DO NOT remove fuel system components while the vehicle is over a pit.
