Do not breathe the air through the EVAP component tubes or hoses. The fuel vapors inside the EVAP components may cause personal injury.
Do not remove the fuel tank filler hose when the fuel tank is over half filled with fuel.
To help avoid personal injury, always use jack stands when you are working on or under any vehicle that is supported only by a jack.
When you are jacking or lifting a vehicle at the frame side rails or other prescribed lift points, be certain that the lift pads do not contact the catalytic converter, the brake pipes or the fuel lines. If such contact occurs, vehicle damage or unsatisfactory vehicle performance may result.
Closely watch parts like pipes or hoses that are still installed to the fuel tank. If lowering the fuel tank slightly does not provide enough access to remove the fuel tank, refer to Fuel Tank Replacement .
