Vapor Tube Fittings: Disconnect
WARNING:
- The evaporative emission system contains fuel vapor and condensed fuel vapor. Although not present in large quantities, it still presents the danger of explosion or fire. Disconnect the negative battery cable from the battery to minimize the possibility of an electrical spark occurring, possibly causing a fire or explosion if fuel vapor or liquid fuel is present in the area. Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal injury.
CAUTION:
- When reusing liquid or vapor tube connectors, make sure to use compressed air to remove any foreign material from the connector retaining clip area before separating the tube.
- Disconnect the negative battery cable. See
BATTERY DISCONNECT
.NOTE:
- If the vapor tube retainer clip is broken or damaged, install a new clip using a suitable fuel line disconnect tool to separate the retainer clip legs. Once the retainer clip legs have been separated, lift the clip out of the connector housing. Lift the stamped side of the housing.
- Disconnect the vapor tube quick release coupling.
- Push the connector toward the tube to release the pressure.
- Press the vapor tube quick release coupling button and pull the fuel tube to disconnect.
