BLEED THE FUEL SYSTEM

GAUTION: Escaplng dlesel tuel under pressure

can have sufflcient force to penetrate the skln,
causing serlous personal Infury. Before discon.
necting lines be sure to relleve all pressure.
Before apptying pressure to the system, be sure
all connections are ilght and that llnes, plpes
and hosee are not damaged. Fuel escaplngfrom
a very small hole can be almost Invlslble. Uee a
plece of cardboard or wood, rather than your
hands, to search for suspected leaks.

lf injured by eecaplng fuel, see a doctor at once.

Serlous infectlon or reacllon can develop lf
proper medlcal treatment ls not admlnlstered
lmmedlately.

Whenever the fuel system has been opened up for service

(lines disconnected or filters removed), it will be necessary
to bleed air from the system.
