Draining the Fuel Tank

Emptying The Fuel Tank

WARNING:
Work involving emptying the fuel tank involves interference with the car fuel system. The following points should therefore be observed in connection with the procedure:
- Ensure good ventilation. If there is approved ventilation for extraction of fuel fumes then this must be used.
- Wear protective gloves. Prolonged exposure of the hands to fuel can cause irritation of the skin.
- Have a fire extinguisher class BE at hand. Be aware of the risk for sparks, i.e. in connection with circuit breaking, short-circuiting, etc.
- Absolutely No Smoking.
- Wear protective glasses.

IMPORTANT:
- Be particulary observant regarding 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.
- 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.
