Fuel Filter: Service Precautions

WARNING: To Reduce the Risk of Fire and Personal Injury:

^ Replace all nylon fuel pipes that are nicked, scratched or damaged during installation, Do Not attempt to repair the sections of the nylon fuel pipes
^ Do Not hammer directly on the fuel harness body clips when installing new fuel pipes. Damage to the nylon pipes may result in a fuel leak.
^ Always cover nylon vapor pipes with a wet towel before using a torch near them. Also, never expose the vehicle to temperatures higher than 115°C (239°F) for more than one hour; or more than 90°C (194°F) for any extended period.
^ Apply a few drops of clean engine oil to the male pipe ends before connecting fuel pipe fittings. This will ensure proper reconnection and prevent a possible fuel leak (During normal operation, the O-rings located in the female connector will swell and may prevent proper reconnection if not lubricated.)
^ Do not attempt to straighten the kinked nylon fuel lines. Replace any kinked nylon fuel feed or return pipes in order to prevent damage to the vehicle.
