Don't miss

• Risk of explosion caused by electrostatic discharge.Secure earth wire of fuel extractor VAS 5190A to a bare metal part on the body. — Detach tapered adapter (2) from shaft end (1) of fuel extractor unit VAS 5190A.
• Use insulating tape to mark the extraction hose (arrow) at a distance of (a) = 1,300 mm from the end of the hose.
• Push extraction hose into fuel tank until marking on hose (arrow) coincides with shaft end.

📋 Procedure

1. Observe safety precautions .
2. Observe rules for cleanliness .
3. ⚠ To prevent irreparable damage to the electronic components when disconnecting the battery:Observe notes on procedure for disconnecting the battery. — Disconnect battery Electrical system27Battery; Disconnecting and connecting battery.
4. ⚠ Risk of explosion caused by electrostatic discharge.Secure earth wire of fuel extractor VAS 5190A to a bare metal part on the body. — Detach tapered adapter (2) from shaft end (1) of fuel extractor unit VAS 5190A.
5. Use insulating tape to mark the extraction hose (arrow) at a distance of (a) = 1,300 mm from the end of the hose.

6. Remove filler cap from fuel filler neck.
7. Screw shaft end (1) of fuel extractor unit VAS 5190A onto fuel filler neck.
8. Push extraction hose into fuel tank until marking on hose (arrow) coincides with shaft end.
9. Extract fuel from tank via fuel filler neck.
10. Pull out extraction hose carefully. [Note: The procedure when using a fuel extractor without shaft end is basically the same.In this case, make a mark (arrow) on the hose at distance (a) = 1,235 mm from end of extraction hose (1) using insulating tape. The extraction hose has been properly inserted when the affixed mark is level with the edge of the filler neck.If hose is difficult to insert, apply a thin coat of engine oil. DO NOT use silicone-based lubricant.]
