PARTS AND CONSUMABLES FOR THE
REPAIR WORK
aCONSUMABLES:
-cleaning cloths.
aMake sure you have a new diesel filter before open-
ing the fuel circuit.
REMOVAL
I - REMOVAL PREPARATION OPERATION
aRemove the front engine cover.aDisconnect the fuel filter:
-the high pressure pump inlet pipe (1) ,
-the manual priming pump outlet pipe (2) .
aRemove the fuel supply pipes (1) and (2) . IMPORTANT
During this operation, be sure to:
-refrain from smoking or bringing red hot objects
close to the working area,
-be careful of fuel splashes when disconnecting
the union.
IMPORTANT
Wear goggles with side protectors for this opera-
tion.
IMPORTANT
Wear latex gloves during the operation.
IMPORTANT
Consult the safety and cleanliness advice and
operation recommendations before carrying out
any repair (see 13B, Diesel injection, Diesel
injection: Precautions for the repair, page
13B-1) .
Note:
Periodically bleed the water contained in the die-
sel filter via the bleed screw (see maintenance
handbook for vehicle concerned).
WARNING
To avoid any corrosion or damage, protect the
areas on which fuel is likely to run.
121441
WARNING
Prepare for the flow of fluid, and protect the sur-
rounding components.
WARNING
To prevent impur ities from entering the circuit,
plugs must be fitted to the openings of all the fuel
circuit components exposed to the open air.
WARNING
Keep the pipe unions away from contaminated
areas.

Note:
If the fuel filter is to be reused, fit blanking plugs
to the fuel supply pipes and fuel filter openings,
using the appropriate blanking plug kit, depend-
ing on the engine (see 13B, Diesel injection,
Diesel injection: Precautions for the repair,
page 13B-1) .
WARNING
Do not remove the blanking plugs from each
component until the last moment.
Also, do not remove the components from their
packaging until they are to be fitted to the vehi-
cle.
Note:
Chec k that the fuel filter is correctly positioned
and secure on its mounting by shaking it: the fil-
ter must not move.
WARNING
Prepare for the flow of fluid, and protect the sur-
rounding components.

Operating diagram of the fuel supply circuit ( « pump - sender - fuel filter » assembly)
The fuel supply circuit does not have a return.
The fuel pressure does not vary with engine load.
The circuit comprises:
-a rail (1) without a return pipe union and without a
supply pressure regulator,
-a single pipe (2) coming from the tank,
-a « pump - sender - fuel filter » supply assembly fitted
with a pressure regulator (3) , fuel pump (4) and fuel
filter (5) (all located in the tank),
-a fuel vapour recirculation tank (6) .
