Draining and filling fuel tank
Important!
Observe relevant country safety legislation and regulations.
Ensure adequate ventilation in the place of work!
Connect the exhaust and extraction systems to the exhaust
tailpipe.
Carefully withdraw extraction hose so as not to damage non-
return flap.
The electric fuel pump must not operate without fuel!
After the repair work but before starting the engine for the first
time, fill the fuel tank with min. 5 l fuel through the fuel filler pipe.
Drawing off fuel:
Note:
Start engine and allow to run. Electric fuel supply pump runs. The
fuel is thus repumped via the suction jet pump and the tank
expansion line from the left to the right side of the fuel tank.
Fuel can be drawn off from the left and right tank halves through
the fuel filler pipe down to a small residual amount. The residual
amount on left and right can continue to be drawn off after
removal of the fuel filter.
Push extraction hose of suction extractor unit into fuel filler pipe. In
so doing, turn slightly if necessary.
Insertion length: 90 cm
Draw off fuel with suction extractor unit as far as possible.
Follow the fuel drawing-off procedure at the fuel gauge in the
instrument cluster.
