2.1 Vehicles without stationary heater, code 228:
Cut off the nipple at the fitting (1) on the right fuel tank half with sharp side cutting pliers on the broken line.

Detach fuel hose from fitting (1).
Before removing the fuel hose, have a suitable drain hose to hand as fuel flows out of the fitting (1) when the fuel hose is pulled off.

3 Fit the drain hose (2) to the fitting (1) and insert the hose end into a safety container (3).
Make sure the fitting (1) is not damaged to prevent fuel escaping.

4 Empty the right half of the fuel tank using the drain hose (2) until the fuel level indicator in the instrument cluster displays around "1/2".
