Do not forget to remount the protection and covers over the valves and return the fuel to the fuel tank once repairs are complete.
Draining a lowered fuel tank (AWD only)
Hint: Use this method if the fuel pump does not work.
If the tank is more than half full, it can take a long time to drain. This method could then be preferable even if the fuel pump works.
Preparation
If the fuel pump does not work, the fuel system must be drained in accordance with Draining fuel injection system and the entire rear axle including the
fuel tank lowered.
Draining the fuel tank
Tip the fuel tank slightly upwards so that the openings for the pump and ejector have the highest position.
Remove all fuel lines and fittings.
Caution! Refit the retaining nuts, otherwise the tank sleeve coupling will swell and the nut will be difficult to fit with risk of shearing.
Suck the fuel from the RH and LH tank halves with an open hose connected to the fuel draining unit.
Caution! Make sure there is proper ventilation and keep in mind the risk of fire!
Fitting
Refit the equipment in reverse order.
Do not forget to return the fuel to the tank once repairs are completed.
