2.3 Installation into a special hole
IMPORTANT:
1) Before drilling a bore in a fuel tank, the tank must be emptied, dismounted (if
necessary) and dried or filled with water.
2) Before drilling, make sure that there are no bulkheads that interfere DUT-E
installation.
3) Eliminate contact of DUT-E measuring probe with the bar of the standard float fuel
sensor.
DUT-E installation procedure:
1) Determine installation location. Geometrical center of the fuel tank is recommended
(see figure 10). This will reduce measurement errors caused by fuel level deviation during
driving.

2) Stick hole placement template from DUT-E delivery set to the top of the tank and drill holes
accordingly (see figure 11).
BE CAREFUL: The mounting plate can be installed only in one position on the bores
prepared! Before marking and drilling, examine the place where you plan to fix the
mounting plate because sealing holes should be accessible.
