- Remove fuel tank . [Note: Perform a leakage test in the area around the fuel tank shut-off valve before emptying the fuel tank 00Checking gas system; Checking gas system for leaks.]
- Draining fuel tank [Note: Different fuel tank shut-off valves may be installed.Depending on the version of the fuel tank shut-off valve installed, 1 or 2 line connections may be present.In the case of fuel tank shut-off valves with 2 connections, each of the connections must be sealed using the adapter for back pressure check on natural gas tank and an additional sealing cap.]
- ⚠ Never leave the fuel tank unattended when the tester is connected. — Check adapter for back pressure test on natural gas tank, and convert it to new version, if necessary .
- Close mechanical shut-off valve (2) on fuel tank shut-off valve using a suitable wrench (SW 6).
- Close shut-off valves by turning hand wheel in clockwise direction.
- ⚠ In order to ensure that the back pressure test is performed correctly, always check the cooling system testerV.A.G 1274 B and the adapter for back pressure test on natural gas tank (self test) beforehand.If the self test fails, the tools must not be used. — Disconnect any adapter lines from cooling system testerV.A.G 1274 B.
- Operate cooling system testerV.A.G 1274 B several times.
- Build up a pressure of 3.0 bar on cooling system testerV.A.G 1274 B.
- Observe pressure on pressure gauge of cooling system testerV.A.G 1274 B for 30 seconds.
- ⚠ Ensure that the magnetic release tool T10349 is not placed on the fuel tank shut-off valve(1). — Check threads on fuel tank shut-off valve and on adapter for back pressure test on natural gas tank for soiling, and clean them if necessary.
- Connect adapter for back pressure test on natural gas tank(2) to cooling system testerV.A.G 1274 B(1).
- Open shut-off tap (arrow) on adapter for back pressure test on natural gas tank.
- Connect adapter for back pressure test on natural gas tank(2) to fuel tank shut-off valve(1).
- Operate cooling system testerV.A.G 1274 B several times.
- Build up a pressure of 3.0 bar on cooling system testerV.A.G 1274 B.

Who makes these pages, and how
TorqFix was built by a mechanic — after a 2,700 km drive with five roadside repairs that no diagnostic tool could explain.
The figures on this page come from manufacturer workshop documentation and are shown as they are. The page is assembled automatically from that data — it is not written by an AI. The AI works in the chat, where it answers for your specific car. It writes nothing here.
Variants of the same model differ. Cross-check torque against the factory manual for your engine before final tightening.
