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:

• Have a class BE fire extinguisher on hand! Be aware of the risk of sparks, i.e. in connection with electric circuits, short-circuiting, etc.

• Absolutely No Smoking!

• Ensure good ventilation! If there is approved ventilation for evacuating fuel fumes then this must be used.

• Wear protective gloves! Prolonged exposure of the hands to fuel can cause irritation to the skin.

• Wear protective goggles.


Important

Be particulary observant regardning cleanliness when working on the fuel system. Loss of function may occur due to very small particles. 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.


Important

Take care so that the non-return valve in the fuel tank is not damaged when the suction hose of the draining unit is inserted and removed.



There is no bottom plug in the fuel tank. When carrying out work on the fuel system where it is necessary to drain the fuel tank, this must be done via the fuel filler pipe using a draining unit.

Read the instructions for the draining unit thoroughly before use.
