| 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 so that the original routing can be restored. |
| t
| Ensure that there is sufficient clearance to all moving or hot components. |
|
WARNING | The fuel line is under pressure! |
| Risk of injury to eyes and skin from fuel. |
| Wear safety goggles and protective clothing to avoid possible injury and skin contact. Before loosening hose connections, wrap a cloth around the connection. Then release pressure by carefully loosening the connection. |

| 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 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. |
