Fuel Supply System, Safety Precautions

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.

When removing and installing the fuel gauge sensor or fuel pump (fuel delivery unit) from a full or partly full fuel tank; observe the following:
- Before starting work, switch on an exhaust exctraction system and place extraction hose close to the opening in the fuel tank to collect any escaping fumes.
- A potentially explosive fuel/air mixture environment will be prevented by the high air flow.
- If no extraction system is available, a radial fan (as long as motor is not in air flow) with a displacement greater than cubic 15 m/h can be used.
- Prevent fuel from contacting skin! Wear fuel-resistant gloves!


WARNING!
Fire Hazard. Do NOT have anything in the area that can ignite fuel.
