Warning: Refer to the
precautions contained in
Section 1 before proceeding.
1 The fuel system referred to in this Chapter is
defined as the fuel tank and tank-mounted fuel
pump/fuel gauge sender unit, the fuel filter, the
throttle body, and the metal pipes and flexible
hoses of the fuel lines between these
components. Most of these contain fuel which
will be under pressure while the engine is
running and/or while the ignition is switched on.
2 The pressure will remain for some time after
the ignition has been switched off, and must
be relieved before any of these components
are disturbed for servicing or repair work.
3 Disconnect the battery negative (earth) lead
(refer to Chapter 5, Section 1).
4 Place absorbent rags around the fuel filter
outlet union banjo bolt, then slowly unscrew
the bolt to release the pressure (see
illustration).
