Safety precautions when working on the fuel supply system
Attention!
Fuel supply lines are under pressure! Before removing from hose connection wrap a cloth around the connection. Then release pressure by carefully pulling hose off connection.

When removing and installing the fuel gauge sender unit on a full or partly full fuel tank the following must be observed:

  • ◆ Before commencing work, switch on exhaust extraction system and place an extraction hose close to sender opening in the fuel tank to extract escaping petrol fumes.
  • ◆ If no exhaust extraction system is available, a radial fan (as long as motor is not in air flow) with a displacement greater than 15 m3/h can be used.
  • ◆ Prevent skin contact with petrol! Wear petrol resistant gloves!
