Warning! Gasoline is a highly flammable liquid. Special precautions must be taken when servicing fuel system components!
Do not smoke and do not approach the work site with an open flame source/unprotected lampshade carrier! Do not perform maintenance of power system components in rooms equipped with natural gas-powered heating devices and equipped with a control torch. Make sure that a loaded fire extinguisher is always at hand.
Avoid contact of fuel with eyes and exposed skin. Wear protective gloves and goggles. Wash off any accidental splashes with soap and water.
Remember that fuel vapors are no less, if not more, dangerous than the liquid fuel itself. Don't forget that empty gasoline containers continue to contain fuel vapors, which are not only highly flammable, but also potentially explosive!
Many of the procedures described in this Chapter involve disconnecting fuel lines, which inevitably results in fuel spills. Try to have all the necessary materials available to collect spilled fuel in advance.
When servicing the fuel system components, pay special attention to maintaining cleanliness - dirt getting into the fuel line can lead to a disruption in its flow, leading to interruptions in engine operation and even spontaneous stops.
