- Put drained fuel in an explosion-proof container and put the lid on securely. Keep the container in safe area.
- Release fuel pressure from the fuel lines. Refer to "FUEL PRESSURE RELEASE " (VQ35DE) or "FUEL PRESSURE RELEASE " (VK45DE).
- Disconnect the battery cable from the negative terminal.
- Always replace O-ring and clamps with new ones.
- Do not kink or twist tubes when they are being installed.
- Do not tighten hose clamps excessively to avoid damaging hoses.
