The exhaust system contains an exhaust manifold (two manifolds on V-shaped 6-cylinder engines), exhaust pipe and catalytic converter, as well as components installed during the manufacture of the car: a rear section with two or three mufflers and an exhaust pipe. The exhaust system is suspended on rubber supports installed along it.
Be especially careful when working on the fuel or exhaust system. Fuel may cause fire. The exhaust system is very hot during operation. Even short-term contact with it can result in severe burns. The catalytic converter also operates at very high temperatures (see chapter 6).
Warning: The pressure in the fuel system remains for a long time after the engine has been switched off. Residual pressure must be relieved before disconnecting system components. Gasoline is a flammable substance. Take special care when working on the fuel system. Work in a well ventilated area - open all windows and doors to create an exhaust hood. Do not smoke or allow naked flames or incandescent lamps without protective covers near the work area. Please note that the fuel used in household appliances (heaters, boilers, dehumidifiers), also poses a risk. Keep this in mind when working near such equipment. Near the working area, it is always necessary to have a fire extinguisher suitable for extinguishing burning oil products, and before starting work, you must read the instructions for its use. Protect your eyes when working on the fuel system (goggles, visor, etc.), If fuel comes into contact with skin, wash immediately with soap and water. Please note that fuel vapors are just as dangerous as liquid fuels. An empty fuel container may present a hazard due to the fuel vapors it contains. Caution: Pay special attention to cleanliness when handling fuel system components. Dirt entering the system can cause clogging and poor engine performance.
