Safety precautions


WARNING!

When removing and installing the fuel pump
or fuel level sensor from a filled or partially
filled fuel tank:

BEFORE beginning repairs, the suction pipe
of an exhaust extraction system must be
located near the fuel tank opening so that
escaping fuel vapors can be immediately
carried away.
If no exhaust extraction system is available,
a radial fan (motor located outside airflow)
with volume of at least 15 m3/hr (9 cfm) may
be used.
Wear fuel-resistant gloves whenever working
with open parts of the fuel system.

Be sure the ignition is switched OFF, when:
Disconnecting fuel injection system wiring
Connecting or disconnecting test equipment
leads

BEFORE cranking the engine at starting RPM
