FUEL SUPPLY SYSTEM

General details

Fuel supply to the injector is guaranteed by a pump,
a filter and a pressure regulator integrated with a fuel
level indicator inside the tank.
The pump assembly is connected to the injector via:
2 semi-rigid tubes
4 quick-connections
1 T-ring joint with O ring and injector stop bracket
The tubes are crossed and fixed to the air intake
manifold so as not to provoke wear and tear on the
quick-connections connected to the injector T-ring joint.
NOTE: before carrying out work on the supply system, all parts should be cleaned accurately to avoid damaging the
stability of the quick-connections or allowing the infiltration of impurities into the ducts.
WARNING: The system is pressurized.
Do not smoke while working on parts.
Sprays of fuel can be expected.
PRECAUTIONS:
- Before starting the engine, ensure there is fuel in the tank.
- Do not run the vehicle on the reserve tank, so as to avoid the risk of running dry.
- If a long period of disuse is expected, fill the tank to at least half.
