Fuel tank

FUEL TANK

The tank is made of steel and has a capacity of 70 litres, including a reserve of approximately 9 litres. The filler is on the main casing and a specific compartment so that it can be removed from the tank. This allows removing the tank.

1. Tank
2. Fuel pump and gauge
3. Vapour recovery pipe
4. Dampers

The filler cap presents a system which ensures it can only be closed at the prescribed torque. Excessive torque (exceeding prescriptions) will cause the notches to turn without locking.

The tank is fitted under the rear seat and is fastened by means of two belts to the underbody. It is protected by a specific steel partition. The fuel filler pipe doubles as a breather. The fuel pump and gauge is housed above the tank. A specific pipe allows the fuel vapours to reach the separator from the tank.

REMOVAL/REFITTING

• Position the vehicle on a shop jack.
• Make sure the ignition key is at "STOP" and disconnect the (-) battery terminal.

• Empty the tank by sucking fuel from the filler with a suitable tool.
• Remove the rear seat cushion and back (see specific paragraph).
