4.7 REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION, FUEL PIPES

Removal, fuel pipes
1.

Disconnect the earth lead from the battery 

terminal.

2.

Disconnect the appropriate fuel pipe and 

collect the escaping fuel.

3.

If the pipe is damaged in any way, it should 

be replaced.

}

Leaks from fuel pipes must be 

remedied as soon as possible to 

reduce fire risk.

Installation, fuel pipes
1.

Always use new copper sealing rings during 

fitting.

2.

Tighten union nuts and banjo bolts to the 

specified torque. See "Technical data".

Note:

In the event of a leakage from a pipe coupling, do 

not overtighten the union nut. First check whether 

the leak is at the connection point between the 

pipe and coupling or at the connection point 

between coupling and the component housing.

If the leakage has not stopped after the union nut 

has been tightened, it will be necessary to take 

the coupling apart.

Check the parts for deposits and/or damage.

Pipes may chafe if they touch each other or other 

parts of the vehicle.

Pipes showing evidence of wear must be 

replaced without delay.

Replace the cover O-ring.

2.

Fit the fuel filter element in the cover

3.

Fit the cover with fuel filter element. Tighten 

the filter cover to the specified torque. See 

"Technical data".

4.

Pump for approximately 1 minute using the 

primer pump to partially fill the filter housing 

with fuel.

5.

Start the engine and run it at idling speed for 

a few minutes; this will allow any air in the 

filter housing to escape.

6.

If the motor will not start up or runs very 

erratically, the fuel system must be bled, see 

"Draining and filling".
