Draining the fuel
All work involving fuel carries an increased
Fire and poisoning hazard!
☞ Do not work in closed rooms
☞ Never perform work on the fuel system near open flames or sparks
☞ No smoking, no fire!
Use a suitable container to collect the fuel as it drains and dispose of it in an environmen-
tally friendly manner!
Filler inlet A for the fuel tank is located in the engine compartment, on the left in driving
direction.
Proceed as follows:
☞ Open filler inlet A
☞ Pump out the fuel with a suitable pump
➥ Collect the fuel in a suitable container
Stationary fuel pumps
General
Only refuel from stationary fuel pumps. Fuel from barrels or cans is usually dirty.
Even the smallest particles of dirt can cause
• Increased engine wear
• Malfunctions in the fuel system and
• Reduced effectiveness of the fuel filters
Refueling from barrels
If refuelling from barrels is unavoidable, please note the following (see Fig. 182):
• Barrels must neither be rolled nor tilted before refueling
• Protect the suction pipe opening of the barrel pump with a fine-mesh screen
• Immerse the suction pipe opening down to a max. of 15 cm (6 in) above the bottom of
the barrel
• Only fill the tank using refueling aids (funnels or filler pipes) with an integral microfilter
• Keep all refueling containers clean at all times
