COOLING - EXHAUST  - FUEL TANK

   

IMPORTANT

During the interventions affecting the

petrol tank and the fuel supply circuit one
must not smoke or bring incandescent
parts near the work-place.

The emptying of the tank does not require

taking apart the tank. Ac cess is allowed
through the inside of the car (i.e. the boot).

To take apart:

-the carpet of the boot;
-the lid of the visiting mouth (by taking

off the four screws);

-the click-collar 1 is taken out by means

of the MOT 1202 device;

-a tube is adapted to the A outlet, which

should be long enough to be introduced into a
vessel outside the car.

The H relay of the petrol-pump is taken out of

the fuse box located in the engine compartment,
and terminals 3 and 5 of the relay connector are
shunted, thus ensuring the operation of the petrol
pump (12 V).

The  operation of the pump will be stopped

when an intermittent leakage of the petrol is no-
ticed.

The shunt is taken off.
The relay is mounted.

COOLING - EXHAUST  - FUEL TANK

The fuel tank has a watertight stopper; the inlet for the filling with unleaded fuel has a

filling orifice incompatible with a classical filling gun (as lead has a negative effect on the
anti-pollution system, the oxygen probe and the catalyst).

TILT

 

VALVE

In case the car is tilted / overthrown, the valve gets blocked, thus avoiding petrol from spilling

towards the carbon canister or the filling inlet.

SECURITY

 

VALVE

In case the petrol vapour recycling circuit is stopped up, the security valve avoids over-pres-

sure or under-pressure in the tank.

It is mounted with the red-marked end towards the joining tube “T”, and with the white-marked

end towards the tube linking it to the filling inlet.
