Draining the fuel system
CAUTION
Fuel is highly flammable.
NEVER WORK ON A HOT ENGINE.
This procedure requires the use of an aspirator pump compliant with EEC standards.
Connect a suitable pipe at least 2 metres in length, with a maximum diameter of 10 mm, to the aspirator
pump.
CAUTION
Collect the fuel in a suitable container.
Insert the pipe via the filler neck into the right hand fuel tank compartment, then aspirate all the fuel
contained.
Start and run the engine for no longer than 5 minutes, so that the pump transfers the fuel contained in the
left hand compartment into the right hand compartment; then aspirate again.
Check the fuel level from the instrument panel and, if necessary, repeat the above procedure to aspirate
as much fuel as possible.
