• The fuel pump is being activated when engine is not running.
• At a distance of (a) = 1700 mm from end of extraction hose, use insulating tape to mark (arrow) the hose of the fuel extractorVAS 5190.
• The non-return valve in the fuel tank must not be damaged by the extraction hose. You must therefore push the hose into the filler neck only as far as the marking.
• When no more fuel is extracted, the tank is emptied just enough for the sender flange to be opened without danger. The tank may be removed while containing remaining fuel.
