8.9.2 Fuel Hoses
In order to guarantee tightness of 
the fuel system, the fuel hoses must 
be pushed firmly and fully on to the 
stubs – always install new fuel 
hoses after every repair.
To avoid damage to the fuel hoses 
and stubs, fit the hoses by hand.
 
Do not use pointed or sharp-edged 
tools and do not cut open the fuel 
hoses at the stubs because they 
could be damaged in this way.
