Work sequence

A - Procedure if fuel tank is more than 3/4 full

• ‒ Remove filler cap from fuel tank filler neck.

• ‒ → Detach tapered adapter -2- from shaft end -1- of VAS 5190.
• ‒ Mark drain hose -arrow- at distance a = 1045 mm from end of hose using insulating tape.

• ‒ → Screw shaft end -1- of fuel extractor VAS 5190 onto fuel filler neck.
• ‒ Push drain hose into fuel tank until marking on drain hose -arrow- coincides with shaft end.

Note:

→ A ball valve -2- is located at the bottom end of the fuel filler neck in the fuel tank -1-. To avoid damaging the ball valve with the drain hose -3-, do not push the hose into the fuel tank further than the mark -arrow- applied earlier.

• ‒ Drain tank as far as possible via fuel filler neck.
• ‒ Carefully pull out drain hose.
• ‒ Remove fuel take-off unit .
• ‒ Extract remaining fuel through opening for fuel take-off unit.

Notes:

• ◆ The procedure when using a fuel extractor without shaft end is basically the same.
• ◆ → In this case, mark drain hose -arrow- at distance a = 980 mm from end of hose using insulating tape. The drain hose is fitted properly when marking on drain hose -arrow- coincides with rim of filler neck.
• ◆ If the hose does not go in easily, lubricate lightly with engine oil. Do not use silicone lubricant.

B - Procedure if tank is less than 3/4 full

• ‒ Remove fuel take-off unit .
• ‒ Extract remaining fuel through opening for fuel take-off unit.
