Warning: Gasoline and diesel fuel are highly flammable, so special precautions must be taken when working with any fuel system components. Do not smoke or approach the work area with an open flame or unprotected portable lamp. Do not carry out such work in garages equipped with heating devices that run on natural gas (such as water heaters, dryers, etc.). The work area must be well ventilated. If gasoline comes into contact with your skin, wash it off immediately with soap and water. Wear safety glasses and keep a fire extinguisher handy when performing any work on the fuel system.
