Warning: Gasoline and diesel fuel are highly flammable and special precautions must be taken when working on any component of the fuel system. Do not smoke or approach the work area with an open flame or an unprotected carrier. Do not carry out such work in garages equipped with natural gas heaters (such as water heaters, dryers, etc.). The work area must be well ventilated. If gasoline comes in contact with your skin, wash it off immediately with soap and water. Wear safety goggles and have a fire extinguisher handy when doing any work on the fuel system.
