If the heater is installed in vehicles with petrol injection sys-
tems it must therefore be determined whether whether the
fuel pump is mounted inside or outside the tank.
Where the fuel pump is located inside the tank, the fuel
can only be drawn from the return pipe in which case it
must be ensured that the return pipe extends almost to the
bottom of the tank. If this is not the case, it is possible to
extend the return pipe.
Where the fuel pump is mounted outside the tank, the con-
nection to the fuel system can be accomplished between
the fuel tank and the fuel pump.
Fuel Lines
NOTE:
The hose clamps are to be tightened to a torque of 1.0 +
0.4 Nm.
Any fuel that may have leaked is to be removed from the
engine or heater prior to starting up the heater or engine.
Only steel, copper and plastic pipes made of plas-
ticised, light-resistant and temperature-stabilised PA 11
or PA 12 (e.g. Mecanyl RWTL) in accordance with DIN
73378 may be used as fuel lines.
As in the majority of cases it is not possible to route the
lines in a continuous upward pitch, the inside diameter
must not exceed a given dimension. If the inside diameter
is larger than 4 mm, air or gas bubbles accumulate which
result in malfunctions if the lines sag or are routed in a
downward pitch. If the diameters shown in Fig. 9 are used
you can be sure that no unwanted bubbles will form.
The lines leading from the metering pump to the heater
should not be routed in a downward pitch.
To prevent the fuel lines from sagging, freely suspended
lines must be secured. Mounting should be performed in
such a manner that the lines are protected against flying
thermal influence (exhaust pipe).

Metering Pump
The metering pump is a combined fuel delivery, metering
and shutoff system and is subject to certain installation
criteria (see Figs. 8 and 11).

Installation position and mounting
Installation Location
Prior to installing the metering pump make sure that the
maximum pressure prevailing at the fuel extraction point is
lower than the max. permissible value indicated in the
table on page 6.
It is recommended that the metering pump be installed in a
location which sufficiently cool. On no account must the
permissible ambient temperature at any given operating
state be in excess of + 20°C.
Metering pump and fuel lines must not be mounted within
the radiation range of hot vehicle parts. If necessary, a radi-
ation protection is to be provided.
The preferred installation location is near the tank.
Installation and Mounting
The metering pump is to be attached by vibration-damping
suspension. The installation position is restricted as shown
in Fig. 12 in order to ensure proper self-ventilation of the
system.
