☞ Never carry out work on the fuel system in the vicinity of naked flames or
sparks

Stationary fuel pumps
General
Only refuel from stationary fuel pumps. Fuel from barrels or cans is usually dirty.
Even the smallest particles of dirt can cause
• Increased engine wear
• Malfunctions in the fuel system and
• Reduced effectiveness of the fuel filters
Refuelling from barrels
If refuelling from barrels cannot be avoided, note the following points (see fig. 71):
• Barrels must neither be rolled nor tilted before refuelling
• Protect the suction pipe opening of the barrel pump with a fine-mesh screen
• Immerse it down to a max. 15 cm above the floor of the barrel
• Only fill the tank using refuelling aids (funnels or filler pipes) with integral microfilter
• Keep all refuelling containers clean at all times
