Vehicles with a Carburetor Equipped Engine

The fuel may only be extracted using the special Webasto fuel extractor (see Figure 12) as close to the tank as possible.
The connection may be made in either the supply or return line, in which case the return line must lead almost to the
base of the tank (see Figure 13).
The fuel extractor must be fitted in such a way that any air or gas bubbles are automatically discharged towards the
tank (see Figure 12).

The fuel extractor should not be located near the engine, as gas bubbles may form in the lines on account of heat
radiated from the engine. This may cause problems during combustion.
