Installation Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Saturn Ion 3, 2005 Saturn Ion 2, and 2005 Saturn Ion 1. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
    CAUTION: In order to reduce the risk of fire and personal injury, before connecting fuel pipe fittings, always apply a few drops of clean engine oil to the male pipe ends.
    This will ensure proper reconnection and prevent a possible fuel leak.
    During normal operation, the O-rings located in the female connector will swell and may prevent proper reconnection if not lubricated.
  1. Apply a few drops of clean engine oil to the male pipe end.
