P-D-680, Type III, is moderately toxic to
the skin, eyes and respiratory tract;
avoid prolonged exposure. Skin and
eye protection is required. Good ventila-
tion is required. Do not use near open
flame or excessive heat. Flash point is
200 degrees F (93.3 degrees C).
Clean fuel lines and fittings with a cloth damp-
ened in dry cleaning solvent and dry thoroughly.
Use a soft-bristle brush to remove caked dirt.
Inspect sealing surfaces of copper washers (7
and 9) for damage that would provide for leakage.
Inspect threads on fittings for damage.
Replace all damaged components with new parts.
1,
Install fuel line (12) to fuel pump outlet and fuel in-

Using separate length of fuel line (3), ease one
end onto outlet nipple of fuel tank. Secure by slid-
ing clamp (5) over hose and over outlet nipple.
Tighten clamp sufficiently to prevent leakage.
Install new fuel filter (4), noting the direction of
flow arrow on side of fuel filter, to determine inlet
and outlet nipples.
Insert inlet nipple of fuel filter (4) into fuel line (3)
coming from the fuel tank.
Insert outlet nipple of fuel filter (4) into fuel line
(10) leading to fuel pump.
Seat fuel lines fully onto filter nipples.
Slide clamps (1 and 2) over fuel lines and secure,
firmly compressing lines onto nipples of the fuel
filter. Do not tighten clamps excessively.
When refueling fuel system for the first time,
