Safety measures in fuel supply works
WARNING
Fuel supply tube is under pressure! Wear protective goggles
and gloves to prevent injuries and avoid contact with the skin.
Before loosening tube junctions, place a cloth around the union
point. Then, eliminate pressure by pulling the tube carefully.
Caution
In all assembly works, especially in engine compartment, due
lk
to lack of space, consider the following:
♦ All pipes (e.g. fuel, hydraulic, activated charcoal filter,
cooling system and cooling gas, break fluid, vacuum) and
electric cables must be restored to original interconnec‐
tion.
♦ Ensure enough space in relation to all moving or hot com‐
ponents to avoid damages to the connections.
When removing and installing Fuel pump (pre-supply pump) -G6-
with fuel tank full or partially full, consider the following:
♦ Before starting installation works, place near the fuel reservoir
opening, a suction hose for extracting equipment in operation,
to absorb gases released by the fuel. If extracting equipment
is unavailable, use a radial fan (the engine must be out of air
3
flow) with air movement rate higher than 15 m / hour.
♦ Avoid skin contact with the fuel! Wear fuel resistant gloves!
♦ For safety reasons, before opening the fuel system, remove
fuse number 33 from fuse holder, as the Fuel pump (pre-sup‐
ply pump) -G6- can be activated.

Cleaning rules
To carry out fuel supply/injection works, consider the following “5
cleaning” rules thoroughly:
♦ Carefully clean union points and respective surrounding areas
before disconnecting them.
♦ Place parts on clean surface and cover them. Do not use cloth
that releases lint!
♦ Carefully cover or close open parts, in case repair is not carried
out immediately.
