Removing and installing parts of fuel supply system
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!
