Warning
|
|
Dismantling the fuel reservoir (incl. fuel level sensor) involves work on the car's fuel system. The following points must therefore be observed in conjunction with these measures:
|
|
•
|
Ensure good ventilation! If there is approved ventilation for extraction of fuel fumes then this must be used.
|
|
•
|
Wear protective gloves! Prolonged exposure of the hands to fuel can cause irritation of the skin.
|
|
•
|
Have a fire extinguisher suitable for flammable liquids and electrical equipment at hand! Be aware of the risk for sparks, i.e. in connection with circuit breaking, short-circuiting, etc.

Prevent dirt and grime from entering the fuel system by cleaning the connections and plugging pipes and lines during disassembly. Use 82 92 948 Plugs, A/C system assembly. Keep components free from contaminants during storage.
