Removing and installing components from a full or partly full fuel tank
When removing and installing components from a full or partly full fuel tank, note the following:
t  Fuel tank must not be full. The amount of fuel which can be left in the fuel tank is indicated in the corresponding procedure description. Drain fuel tank if necessary → Chapter.
t  Before commencing work, switch on exhaust extraction system and place an extraction hose close to the sender opening in the fuel tank to extract escaping petrol fumes. If no exhaust extraction system is available, a radial fan with a displacement of at least 15 m3/h can be used (the fan motor must be clear of the air stream).
t  Avoid skin contact with fuel. Wear fuel-resistant gloves.
