5. TANK AND SUPPLY
IMPORTANT: Carefully read the information below before commencing any intervention.
General Information
The fuel supply system comprises the petrol tank connected to the carburettor by a pipe; a mesh lter at
the bottom of the tank prevents deposits and impurities from reaching the carburettor.
The tank is equipped with a lter, located at the bottom of the tank, which prevents deposits and impurities
from reaching the carburettor.
The supply to the carburettor oat chamber is caused by gravity and the volume of petrol taken from the
tank as the engine runs is compensated by a breather pipe in the cap.
See the relevant section [
17] for advice on resolving problems due to the malfunctioning of the petrol
supply system.
WARNING: All interventions on the supply system must be performed in safe conditions, therefore:
- do not smoke;

work bench;
- remove all traces of spilt petrol immediately;
- check you have connected the pipes before pouring petrol back into the tank..
