Fuel Metering System

Fuel Pressure Relief Procedure

CAUTION: To reduce the risk of fire and personal
injury, there are necessary to relieve the fuel system
pressure before filler and gauge unit servicing the
fuel system components.

CAUTION: After  relieving the system pressure, a
small amount of fuel may be released when servicing
fuel lines or connections.  Reduce the chance of
personal injury by covering the fuel line fittings with
a shop towel before you disconnect the fittings.  The
towels will absorb any fuel that may leak out.  When
the disconnect is completed, place the towel in an
approved container.
