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 and 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.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION RELAY - FUEL PUMP
The fuel pump relay is located in the engine compartment fuse box. It switches on the fuel pump to draw fuel from
the tank to the electronic unit injectors (EUI).
Input / Output
The fuel pump relay is a 4 pin normally open relay. The fuel pump relay (C0730-4) is provided with a feed by the
main relay (C0063-78) via header 291 on a brown/orange wire. An earth path is provided for the fuel pump relay
(C0730-6) via the ECM (C658-5) on a blue/purple wire. This energises the fuel pump relay and allows a feed to be
provided to the fuel pump. When the ECM interrupts the earth, the relay is de-energised and the fuel pump stops
operating.
The fuel pump relay can fail in one or more of the following ways:
Relay open circuit.
Short circuit to vehicle supply.
Short circuit to vehicle earth.
Broken relay return spring.
In the event of a fuel pump relay failure any of the following symptoms may be observed:
Engine will crank but not start.
If the engine is running, it will stop.
RELAY - MAIN
The main relay is located in the engine compartment fuse box and supplies battery voltage to the following:
The ECM.
The MAF sensor.
Fuel pump relay.
Input / Output
The main relay is a 4 pin normally open relay, which must be energised to provide a voltage to the ECM. The main
relay (C0063-86) is provided with an earth path via a transistor within the ECM (C0658-21) on a blue/red wire.
When the earth path is completed, the relay is energised and supplies the ECM (C0658-3, C0658-22 & C0658-27)
with a feed on brown/orange wires via header 291.
The main relay can fail in the following ways:
Relay open circuit.
Short circuit to vehicle supply.
Short circuit to vehicle earth.
Broken relay return spring.
In the event of a main relay failure any of the following symptoms may be observed:
Engine will crank but not start.
If the engine is running, it will stop.
For the ECM start up to take place the ignition feed when the switch is in position’II’must be greater than 6.0
volts.
