Emptying the fuel tank

Emptying the fuel tank


Warning

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



• Work only in a well-ventilated area. If approved equipment for the extraction of fuel vapour is available, be sure to use it.

• Wear suitable gloves. Prolonged contact with fuel may give rise to skin irritation or dermatitis.

• Keep a class BE fire extinguisher near at hand. Be mindful of the danger of sparks caused by short-circuits and when connecting and disconnecting leads, etc. in electrical circuits.

• No smoking anywhere in the vicinity.

The fuel tank has no drain plug. When work on the fuel system requires the tank to be drained, this can be done with a separate tank draining unit via the fuel filler pipe.

Important

Scrupulous cleanliness is of the utmost importance when working on the fuel system. Prevent dirt, etc. from entering the fuel tank and fuel lines.
