Draining the fuel tank

Draining the fuel tank


Warning

Draining the fuel tank involves work on the car's fuel system. The following points must therefore be considered in connection with the work:



• Make provision for good ventilation! If approved ventilation for extracting fuel fumes is available then it must be used.

• Use protective gloves! Prolonged contact with fuel may irritate the skin.

• Keep a class BE fire extinguisher close at hand! Watch out for sparks, e.g. in connection with breaking electric circuits, short-circuits, etc.

• Smoking is absolutely forbidden.

The fuel tank does not have a bottom plug. When work on the fuel system involves draining the fuel tank, this can be done through the fuel filler pipe using the appropriate equipment.

Important

Bear cleanliness in mind when working on the fuel system. Prevent dirt from entering the tank and the fuel lines.
