Cleaning the Engine
*
[SV05920(BEF )04/95]
A clean engine is more efficient because a
buildup of grease and dirt acts as an insulator,
keeping the engine warmer than usual.
*
[SV05940(BEF )05/95]
q
Extreme care must be used if a power washer
is used to clean the engine. The high pressure
fluid could penetrate sealed parts and
assemblies causing damage or malfunctions.
*
[SV05960(BEF )04/95]
q
In order to avoid possible cracking of the
engine block or fuel injection pump, do not
spray a hot engine or injection pump with
cold water.
*
[SV05980(BEF )04/95]
q
The alternator, distributor and air intake must
be covered. Covering these components will
help prevent water damage.
*
[SV06000(BEF )04/95]
q
Never wash or rinse the engine while it is
running. Water getting into the engine may
cause internal damage.

q
Unscrew the fuel cap by exerting pressure on
the plastic lock bar and rotating the fuel cap
counterclockwise.
*
[SV06850( ALL)12/91]

sound stops and then continue rotating
counterclockwise to remove the fuel cap.
*
[SV06900( ALL)03/93]
q
Make sure that you follow the above fuel cap
removal instructions and use caution. Such
caution will minimize the possibility of fuel
spraying during removal of the fuel cap.
*
[SV06950( ALL)03/91]
To replace and secure the fuel cap; place it in
position and rotate it clockwise until it clicks
(ratchets). Doing so will not damage or break
the fuel cap. The ratcheting mechanism allows
the fuel cap to be sealed without overtightening.

pressure in the fuel tank can damage the
fuel system or cause it to work improperly
in a collision.

wood alcohol (blended at no more than 5% with
cosolvents and additives), and MTBE or methyl
tertiary butyl ether (blended at no more than
15%).
[SV09950( ALL)04/95]
