INFORMATION FUEL HANDLING PRECAUTIONS
The following information provides basic precautions
which must be observed if fuel is to be handled safely.
It also outlines the other areas of risk which must not
be ignored.
This information is issued for basic guidance only, and
in any case of doubt, appropriate enquiries should be
made of your local Fire Officer or Fire Department.
Fuel vapour is highly flammable and in confined
spaces is also very explosive and toxic.
When fuel evaporates it produces 150 times its own
volume in vapour, which when diluted with air
becomes a readily ignitable mixture. The vapour is
heavier than air and will always fall to the lowest level.
It can readily be distributed throughout a workshop by
air current, consequently, even a small spillage of fuel
is very dangerous.
Always have a fire extinguisher containingFOAM CO
2
GAS,orPOWDERclose at hand when handling fuel,
or when dismantling fuel systems and in areas where
fuel containers are stored.
WARNING: lt is imperative that the battery
is not disconnected during fuel system
repairs as arcing at the battery terminal
could ignite fuel vapour in the atmosphere.
Always disconnect the vehicle battery BEFORE
carrying out work on the fuel system.
Whenever fuel is being handled, transferred or
stored, or when fuel systems are being dismantled
all forms of ignition must be extinguished or
removed, any leadlamps used must be flame proof
and kept clear of spillage.
No one should be permitted to repair components
associated with fuel without first having had fuel
system training.Hot fuel handling precautions
WARNING: Before commencing any
operation requiring fuel to be drained from
the fuel tank, the following procedure must
be adhered to:
1.Allow sufficient time for the fuel to cool, thus
avoiding contact with hot fuels.
2.Vent the system by removing the fuel filler cap in
a well ventilated area. Refit the filler cap until the
commencement of fuel drainage.
Fuel transfer
WARNING: Fuel must not be extracted or
drained from any vehicle while it is
standing over a pit.
The transfer of fuel from the vehicle fuel tank must be
carried out in a well ventilated area. An approved
transfer tank must be used according to the transfer
tank manufacturer's instructions and local regulations,
including attention to grounding of tanks.
Fuel tank removal
AFUEL VAPOURwarning label must be attached to
the fuel tank upon removal from the vehicle.
Fuel tank repair
Under no circumstances should a repair to any tank
be attempted.

INFORMATION PREPARATION
1.Before removing a component, clean it and its
surrounding areas as thoroughly as possible.
2.Blank off any openings exposed by component
removal, using greaseproof paper and masking
tape.
3.Immediately seal fuel, oil or hydraulic lines when
separated, using plastic caps or plugs, to
prevent loss of fluid and entry of dirt.
4.Close open ends of oilways, exposed by
component removal, with tapered hardwood
plugs or readily visible plastic plugs.
5.Immediately a component is removed, place it in
a suitable container; use a separate container for
each component and its associated parts.
6.Before dismantling a component, clean it
thoroughly with a recommended cleaning agent;
check that agent is suitable for all materials of
component.
7.Clean bench and provide marking materials,
labels, containers and locking wire before
dismantling a component.
DISMANTLING
1.Observe scrupulous cleanliness when
dismantling components, particularly when
brake, fuel or hydraulic system parts are being
worked on. A particle of dirt or a cloth fragment
could cause a dangerous malfunction if trapped
in these systems.
2.Blow out all tapped holes, crevices, oilways and
fluid passages with an air line. Ensure that any
O-rings used for sealing are correctly replaced or
renewed, if disturbed.
3.Use marking ink to identify mating parts, to
ensure correct reassembly. If a centre punch or
scriber is used they may initiate cracks or
distortion of components.
4.Wire together mating parts where necessary to
prevent accidental interchange (e.g. roller
bearing components).
5.Wire labels on to all parts which are to be
renewed, and to parts requiring further
inspection before being passed for reassembly;
place these parts in separate containers from
those containing parts for rebuild.
6.Do not discard a part due for renewal until after
comparing it with a new part, to ensure that its
correct replacement has been obtained.INSPECTION-GENERAL
1.Never inspect a component for wear or
dimensional check unless it is absolutely clean;
a slight smear of grease can conceal an incipient
failure.
2.When a component is to be checked
dimensionally against figures quoted for it, use
correct equipment (surface plates, micrometers,
dial gauges, etc.) in serviceable condition.
Makeshift checking equipment can be
dangerous.
3.Reject a component if its dimensions are outside
limits quoted, or if damage is apparent. A part
may, however, be refitted if its critical dimension
is exactly limit size, and is otherwise satisfactory.
4.Use 'Plastigauge' 12 Type PG-1 for checking
bearing surface clearances. Directions for its
use, and a scale giving bearing clearances in
0,0025 mm steps are provided with it.

FAULT DIAGNOSIS BASE IDLE SPEED SETTING
NOTE: Base idle speed is set at factory. It
should not require further adjustment
unless plenum chamber is changed. The
adjustment screw is sealed with a plug to prevent
unauthorised alteration. Check ignition timing
before attempting following procedure, since this
will affect idle speed.
Equipment required
Two blanking hoses.these are manufactured using
a new air by-pass valve hose - Part No.ETC7874. Cut
two equal pieces 90mm long from hose and seal one
end of each, using 13mm diameter bar. Use a suitable
clamp to ensure an air tight seal.
Checking procedure
1.Drive vehicle at least two miles until engine and
transmission are hot. Switch off engine.
2.Check all electrical loads are OFF, including air
conditioning.
3.Remove air by-pass valve hose.
4.Fit blanking hoses to both plenum chamber and
air by-pass valve. Ensure hoses are securely
fitted to prevent air leaks. Note throttle cable and
cruise control actuator have been omitted from
illustration.5.Start engine and check idle speed is within
limits.
See ENGINE TUNING DATA,
Information, Engine 3.9 v8i
Adjusting base idle speed
6.Drill tamper proof plug and insert a self tapping
screw to enable plug to be extracted.
7.Start engine, adjust idle screw clockwise to
decrease or counter-clockwise to increase idle
speed.
8.Stop engine, remove blanking hoses. Reconnect
hose to plenum.
9.Fit new tamper proof plug.

ADJUSTMENT COOLANT REQUIREMENTS
Frost precautions and engine protection.
Cooling systemMUST ALWAYSbe filled and
topped-up with solution of water and anti-freeze,
winter and summer.NEVERuse water alone, this
may corrode aluminium alloy.
CAUTION: Do not use salt water otherwise
corrosion will occur. In certain territories
where only available natural water supply
has some salt content use only rain or distilled
water.
Recommended solutions
Anti-freeze:Universal anti-freeze or permanent type
ethylene base, without methanol, containing a suitable
inhibitor for aluminium engines and engine parts.
Use one part of anti-freeze to one part of water.
Anti-freeze can remain in the cooling system and will
provide adequate protection for two years provided
that specific gravity of coolant is checked before onset
of second winter and topped-up with new anti-freeze
as required.
Vehicles leaving factory have cooling system filled
with 50% solution of anti-freeze and water. This gives
protection against frost down to minus 36°C (minus
33°F). Vehicles so filled are identified by a label
affixed to radiator.
NOTE: Should ambient temperatures be
below that stated above refer to
Anti-Freeze Data in Recommended
Lubricants, Fluids and Capacities in Section 09.
Instructions in chart must be strictly adhered to
before driving vehicle.
After the second winter the system should be drained
and thoroughly flushed. Before adding new anti-freeze
examine all joints and replace defective hoses to
make sure that the system is leakproof.
See the 'Recommended Lubricants Fluids and
Capacities' for protection quantities.
