11.8 Tank vent
11.8.1 Testing
If problems develop in the 
carburetor or fuel supply, the tank 
vent must always also be tested and 
replaced if necessary. Correct 
functioning is determined by testing 
the fuel tank under vacuum or at 
gauge pressure via the fuel hose.
– Open filler cap and drain fuel 
tank, b 1
– Close the filler cap
– Remove filter housing, b 11.2
: Pull out connector (1) with fuel 
hose (2)
– Pull connector off of fuel hose

Testing with negative pressure
: Slide ring (1) to the left and 
connect the pump (2) 
0000 850 1300 to the double 
nipple (arrow) 
– Create vacuum in fuel tank
Pressure is equalized via the tank 
vent. A negative pressure must not 
build up inside the tank.
– Clean the area around the tank 
vent
– Always use a new fuel hose
– Replace the tank vent or tank if 
necessary, b 11.8 or b 11.9.3

Testing with gauge pressure
: Slide ring (1) to the right and 
connect the pump (2) 
0000 850 1300 to the double 
nipple (arrow) 
– Create excess pressure in fuel 
tank
– Actuate the pump until the 
pressure gauge shows a 
pressure of 0.5 bar. If this 
pressure remains constant for at 
least 20 seconds, the tank and 
tank vent are airtight. If the 
pressure drops, the leak must be 
located and the defective part 
replaced.
– Replace the tank vent or tank if 
necessary, b 11.8 or b 11.9.3
– Always use a new fuel hose
– Reassemble parts in reverse 
order
