Removing/refitting

The fuel filler cap has a special device which enables it to be tightened only to the specified torque, this way excessive tightening beyond the specified value is prevented.

The tank is positioned in correspondence of the rear seat and fastened by two metal straps to the under-body and it is protected by a special sheet metal partition.

The pipe on the fuel filler acts as a breather.

There is an opening in the upper part of the tank for housing the fuel pump and fuel level gauge.

A special takeoff on the tank allows the fuel vapours to reach the vapour separator via a connection pipe.
