2.1 Safety precautions when working on
fuel supply system
WARNING
♦ The fuel or the fuel lines in the fuel system can become
very hot (risk of scalding)!
♦ The fuel system is under pressure!
♦ Wear safety goggles and safety clothing, in order to avoid
injuries and skin contact with fuel.
♦ Place cleaning cloths around the connection point before
detaching cable connections. Reduce pressure by care‐
fully removing the wiring.
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.
One of the following options must be used to interrupt the cur‐
rent supply:
♦ Disconnect battery
or
♦ Take out fuse for fuel pump control unit - J538-
or
♦ Disconnect the plug on the flange of the fuel delivery unit.
Caution
When undertaking all installation work, particularly in the en‐
gine compartment because of its cramped construction, please
observe the following:
♦ Lay lines of all kinds (for example, for fuel, hydraulic fluid,
cooling fluid and refrigerant, brake fluid, vacuum) and
electrical lines in such a way that the original line guide is
re-established.
♦ Ensure that there is adequate free access to all moving or
hot components.
