Warning

•  Highly pressurized fuel may spray out if the fuel line is cut. Due to the following dangers occurring with a fuel spray, always complete the “Fuel Line Safety Procedure” to prevent the fuel from spraying.

―  Fuel may cause irritation if it comes in contact with skin and eyes.

―  If fuel ignites and causes a fire, it may lead to serious injury or death, and damage to property and facilities.

•  A person charged with static electricity could cause a fire or explosion, resulting in death or serious injury. Before performing work on the fuel system, discharge static electricity by touching the vehicle body.

Caution

•  Disconnecting/connecting the quick release connector without cleaning it may possibly cause damage to the fuel pipe and quick release connector. Always clean the quick release connector joint area before disconnecting/connecting using cloth or soft brush, and make sure that it is free of foreign material.

•  Use of a deformed fuel injector clip will cause the fuel injector to be connected incorrectly and could result in fuel leakage. Make sure to replace with a new fuel injector clip after removing it.

1.  Detach one side of the fuel injector clip from the fuel injector port flange.

Fuel Injector Installation Note

1.  Apply a small amount of clean oil to a new O-ring.

Caution

•  A damaged O-ring could cause fuel leakage. Be careful not to damage the O-ring when installing the fuel injector.

•  If there is foreign material on the fuel injector connecting part, it might damage the fuel injector and fuel distributor. To prevent this, clean the connecting part before connecting the fuel injector.

2.  Install the fuel injector straight to the fuel injector port.
