Safety precautions when working on the fuel supply system
Warning!
When doing any repair work, especially in the engine compartment, pay attention to the following due to the cramped conditions:
  • ◆ Route all the various lines (e.g. for fuel, hydraulics, activated charcoal filter system, coolant, refrigerant, brake fluid and vacuum pipes and hoses) and electrical wiring so that the original positions are restored.
  • ◆ Ensure sufficient clearance to all moving or hot components.

When removing and installing the fuel gauge sender or fuel pump (fuel delivery unit) from a full or partly full fuel tank the following must be observed:

Warning!
Fuel supply lines are under pressure! Before removing from hose connection wrap a cloth around the connection. Then release pressure by carefully pulling hose off connection.

  • ◆ → For reasons of safety, remove fuse No. 14 from fuse holder before opening the fuel system because the fuel pump can be activated by the driver's door contact switch.
  • ◆ 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 fuel fumes.
    If no exhaust extraction system is available, a radial fan (as long as motor is not in air flow) with a displacement greater than 15 m3/h can be used.
  • ◆ Prevent skin contact with fuel! Wear fuel-resistant gloves!
