Fuel Line Safety Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Mazda MX-5 Miata. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

NOTE:

Fuel in the fuel system is under high pressure also when the engine is not running.

Remove the fuel-filler cap and release the pressure in the fuel tank.
Disconnect the fuel pump relay (FP RLY) connector (6-pin type connector:4 terminal) located above the accelerator pedal (AP).
