FUEL SYSTEMMake sure there is sufficient fuel inthe tank. Also check fuel line andconnections for leakage.å Fuel tank∫ Fuel capç E.F.I. fuel pump∂ Fuel tank vent

Gasoline and its vapors are highlyflammable and explosive. To avoidfires and explosions and to reducethe risk of injury when refueling,follow these instructions.

1. Stop engine and allow it to coolfor several minutes before refueling.Do not smoke when refuelingand keep away from sparks,flames or other sources of ignition.Refuel in a well-ventilated area.

2. Take care not to spill gasoline. If gasoline spills, wipe it up immediately with dry rags. Alwaysdispose of gasoline-soaked ragsproperly.

3. Tighten until a clicking sound isheard.

Gasoline is poisonous and cancause injury or death. If you swallow gasoline, inhale a lot ofgasoline vapor or get gasoline inyour eyes, get immediate medicalattention.If any gasoline gets on your skin,immediately wash with soap andwater. Change clothing if gasolinespills on it.
