Safety Precautions When Working On Fuel Supply System

CAUTION: Fuel supply lines are under pressure. Wear eye protection and protective gloves to avoid injuries and skin contact with fuel. Before removing from hose connection wrap a cloth around the connection. Then release pressure by carefully pulling hose off connection.

Always observe the following when removing and installing the sender for fuel gauge or the Fuel Pump (FP) from full or partially filled fuel tanks.
- Before starting work, switch on exhaust extraction system and place an extraction hose close to the installation opening of fuel tank to extract escaping fuel fumes. If no exhaust extraction system is available, a radial fan (as long as motor is not in airflow) with a displacement greater than 15 cubic meter/h can be used.
- Prevent fuel from contacting skin. Wear fuel-resistant gloves.
