Safety precautions
1.1
Safety regulations for working on fuel
supply
WARNING
♦ Fuel supply line is pressurised. Wear protective goggles
and protective clothing to avoid injury and contact with the
skin. Wrap a cloth around the connection before loosening
hose connections. Then release pressure by carefully
pulling hose off connection.
For reasons of safety, the power supply to the fuel pump must
be interrupted before the fuel system is opened. The fuel pump
would otherwise be activated when the driver's door is opened.
Use the following options to interrupt the power supply:
♦ Disconnect battery
Or
♦ Removing fuse for fuel pump control unit - J538-
Or
♦ Pull off connector from fuel delivery unit flange or fuel
pump control unit - J538-
Caution
Observe the following points during all installation work, in par‐
ticular in the engine compartment, due to the space limitations:
♦ Route all the various lines and electrical wiring so that they
are in their original positions.
♦ Ensure that there is sufficient clearance to all moving or
hot components.
To prevent injuries to persons and/or damage to the injection and
ignition system, the following must be observed:
♦ Do not touch or pull off ignition coils with output stage when
engine is running or turning at starter speed.
♦ Switch off ignition before connecting or disconnecting injection
and ignition system wiring as well as test instrument cables.
When removing and installing fuel gauge sender or fuel pump
(fuel delivery unit) from a full or partly full fuel tank, observe the
following:
♦ Before starting work, the extraction hose of a switched-on ex‐
haust gas extraction system must be laid near to the assembly
opening of the fuel tank. This draws away the fuel fumes that
escape. If no exhaust gas extraction system is available, a ra‐
3
dial fan with a displacement greater than 15 m /h can be used
providing that motor is not in air flow.
