Removal of the fuel filter involves partial dismantling of the car's fuel system. The following points must therefore be observed in connection with this work:
|
•

|
•
|
Absolutely No Smoking!
|
•
|
Ensure that there is a good exchange of air. If approved ventilation for the extraction of fuel fumes is available, this should be used.
|
•
|

|
•
|
Wear protective goggles.
