Fuel Safety
ALWAYS follow instructions when disconnecting fuel lines. Failure to do so may
result in fuel squirting from fuel system.
Do not crank a flooded engine with the spark plug removed on gasoline-powered
engines. Fuel trapped in the cylinder will squirt out the spark plug opening.
Do not test for spark on gasoline-powered engines if the engine is flooded or the
smell of gasoline is present. A stray spark could ignite the fumes.
