-
Wear suitable gloves! Prolonged contact with fuel can cause skin irritation or dermatitis.
-
keep a class BE fire extinguisher near at hand! Be mindful of the danger of sparks caused by short circuits and when connecting and disconnecting
leads in electrical circuits.

No smoking anywhere in the vicinity.
-
Wear protective goggles.
Dismantling

Drive the car on to a lift and raise it.
3
Raise the car.
4
Undo the hose clamps and detach the hose from the tank and the filler pipe.
To fit
