| Safety precautions when working on fuel supply system |
Caution | Due to the enclosed spaces, observe the following during all assembly work, particularly in the engine compartment: |
| t
| Route lines of any kind and cables so that original routing can be restored. |
| t
| Ensure that there is sufficient clearance to all moving or hot components. |
|
| When removing and fitting the fuel gauge sender -G- or fuel pump (fuel delivery unit) with a full or partly full fuel tank, the following must be observed: |
WARNING | The fuel line is under pressure! |
| Risk of injury to eyes and skin from fuel. |
| Use protective goggles and clothing to prevent injuries and contact with the skin. Before releasing the connections on the hoses, place absorbent cloths round the connection. Then release pressure by carefully loosening the connection. |
|
| t
| Already 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 gas extraction system is available, a radial fan with a displacement greater than 15 m3/h can be used providing that motor is not in air flow. |
| t
| Avoid skin contact with the fuel! Use fuel resistant gloves! |
