Fuel filter
Warning
Removal of the fuel filter involves partial dismantling
of the car's fuel system. The following points must
therefore be observed in connection with this work:
• Make sure a class BE fire extinguisher is close to
hand! Consider the risk of sparking, e.g. when
breaking circuits, short-circuits etc.
• Absolutely No Smoking!
• Ensure that there is a good exchange of air. If
approved ventilation for the extraction of fuel
fumes is available, this should be used.
• Wear protective gloves! Prolonged exposure of the
hands to fuel can cause irritation to the skin.
• Wear protective goggles.
