Fuel System Cleaning: Notes

CAUTION: Before servicing any electrical component, the ignition key must be in the OFF or LOCK position and all electrical loads must be OFF, unless instructed otherwise in these procedures. If a tool or equipment could easily come in contact with a live exposed electrical terminal, also disconnect the negative battery cable. Failure to follow these precautions may cause personal injury and/or damage to the vehicle or its components.
NOTE: If a fuel system problem is caused by contaminated fuel or other foreign material in the fuel tank, the tank must be cleaned. If the tank is rusted or is still contaminated after cleaning, the tank must be replaced. Only use oil-free compressed air to blow out the fuel pipes. Inspect the fuel tank internally and clean the fuel tank if the you find a plugged fuel filter.
