Fuel Pump: Service Precautions

Safety Precautions

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

• Route all lines and wires in their original locations.

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

When removing and installing the fuel pump and the fuel level sensor in a full or partially filled tank, note the following:

• Before starting work, switch the exhaust extraction system on and place an extraction hose close to the fuel tank installation opening to extract 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!
