Draining and Filling Fuel Tank

DRAINING AND FILLING FUEL TANK:





CAUTION:
- Observe relevant country safety legislation and regulations!

- Ensure adequate ventilation in the place of work!

- Connect the exhaust and extraction systems to the exhaust tailpipe.

- The electric fuel pump must not operate without fuel! After servicing before the first engine start-up, fill the fuel tank via the fuel filling line with at least 5 liters fuel.


Drawing of through filler pipe:

- Switch on engine and run for 10 - 15 seconds to enable intake hose on air valve to fill with fuel. Fuel can be drawn out of left and right sides of tank through filler neck, leaving only a small residue. This residual quantity is drawn off after fuel level indicator sensor (right/left) has been removed.




- Slide a suitable suction hose into filler neck about 130 cm, twisting slightly if necessary.
- Draw out fuel with suction unit as far as possible.




NOTE: When removing hose, avoid damaging the return baffle plate.




Installation Note:
- Fill fuel into suction unit via filler aperture, inserting hose approx. 40 cm in length to do so.




Suction check:
- Remove rear seat cushion. Unscrew covers on left and right sides.
- After disconnecting plug connections on fuel level sensors, reduction of fuel level in both halves of tank can be monitored with a multimeter.
- Fuel level drops and resistance decreases.
