To remove

WARNING: The work involved in removing the fuel pipe requires working with the vehicle's fuel system. The following points should therefore be heeded in conjunction with these measures:
  • Have a class BE fire extinguisher on hand! Be aware of the risk of sparks, i.e. in connection with electric circuits, short-circuiting, etc.
  • Absolutely No Smoking!
  • Ensure good ventilation! If there is approved ventilation for evacuating fuel fumes then this must be used.
  • Wear protective gloves! Prolonged exposure of the hands to fuel can cause irritation to the skin.
  • Wear protective goggles.
