Warning
|

Drainage 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:
|
|
•
|
Make sure a class BE fire extinguisher is close to hand! Consider the risk of sparking, e.g. when breaking circuits, short-circuits etc.
|
|
•
|
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 gloves! Prolonged exposure of the hands to fuel can cause irritation to the skin.
|
|
•
|
Wear protective goggles.
