Engine Code BPR (Metal Fuel Tank)

Safety Precautions

CAUTION!
When doing any repair work, especially in the engine compartment, pay attention to the following due to clearance issues:

• Route lines of all types (for example, fuel, hydraulic, Evaporative Emission (EVAP), coolant, refrigerant, brake fluid and vacuum) and electrical wiring so that the original path is followed.

• To prevent damage to the lines, make sure there is sufficient clearance to all moving or hot components.

The fuel pump is activated by switching on the ignition and by the door contact switch of the driver's door. Therefore for reasons of safety, the electrical connector - 1 - must be disconnected from the flange - 3 - of the fuel delivery unit before opening the fuel supply system, if the battery is not disconnected.





Always observe the following when removing and installing the fuel delivery unit or the fuel pump from a full or partially filled fuel tank.

• Before starting work, switch on an exhaust extraction system and place an extraction hose close to the installation opening of fuel tank to extract escaping fuel fumes. If no exhaust extraction system is available, a radial fan (as long as motor is not in air flow) with a displacement greater than 15 m3/h can be used.

• Prevent fuel from contacting skin! Wear fuel resistant gloves!
