Persistent smell of fuel
If you notice a persistent smell of fuel
you should:
– stop the vehicle if traffic conditions
allow and switch off the ignition;
– switch on the hazard warning lights
and ask your passengers to leave
the vehicle and to keep away from
the traffic;
– refrain from working on or restart-
ing the vehicle before it has been
inspected by qualified staff from our
Network.
No modifications what-
soever are permitted on
any part of the fuel supply
system (computers, wiring,
fuel circuit, injector, protection
covers, etc.) as this may be danger-
ous (such work must be undertaken
by qualified Network personnel).

are no more air bubbles in the fuel
flow;
– retighten the bleed screw 2;
– operate the priming bulb one last
time.
The engine can now be restarted.
