Engine (03.00)
Fuel Charging System (03.04)
Safety Precautions
Operations on fuel system result in fuel liquid and vapour
being present in the working environment. This presents a
very serious risk and the following precautions must be
strictly observed:
WAR NI NG
OPERATIONS ON REFUELLING AND THE FUEL
SYSTEM MUST ONLY BE PERFORMED BY PERSONNEL WHO HAVE COMPLETED TRAINING ON FUEL HANDLING.
WAR NI NG
SMOKING MUST NOT BE ALLOWED NEAR THE
WORKING AREA. “NO SMOKING” SIGNS MUST BE POSTED AROUND THE WORKING AREA.
WAR NI NG
ANY OPERATION WHICH COULD INVOLVE SPARKS OR NAKED LIGHTS (E.G. BATTERY TESTING,
WELDING, METAL GRINDING, ETC.) MUST NOT BE ALLOWED NEAR THE WORKING AREA.
WAR NI NG
A CO2 FIRE EXTINGUISHER MUST BE AVAILABLE CLOSE AT HAND.
WAR NI NG
DRY SAND MUST BE AVAILABLE CLOSE AT HAND TO SOAK UP ANY ACCIDENTAL FUEL SPILLAGE.
WAR NI NG
IF NECESSARY, EMPTY THE FUEL INTO AN
EXPLOSION PROOF CONTAINER USING SUITABLE
FIREPROOF FUEL HANDLING EQUIPMENT.
WAR NI NG
THE WORKING AREA MUST BE WELL VENTILATED.
WAR NI NG
DISCONNECT THE BATTERY BEFORE COMMENCING WORK ON THE FUEL SYSTEM.
WAR NI NG
DEPRESSURISE THE FUEL SYSTEM BEFORE DISCONNECTING ANY FUEL LINES.

Fuel Tank and Lines (10.01)
Fuel (10.00)
May 2007 Workshop Manual 10-1-7
Normal Fuel Fill - Air displaced from the fuel tank during
filling can only exit via the fuel level vent valve and roll over
valves and be forced through the carbon canister. Any fuel
vapour in the displaced air is absorbed in the carbon filter
material. No fuel vapour can escape to the atmosphere.
Clean air then exits the carbon canister, via and additional
filter, to atmosphere.
Excessive Fuel Fill - In the event of overfilling of the fuel
tank, the fuel level vent valve will close at normal maximum
fuel level. Finally the roll over vent valve will close,
completely sealing the tank. Any excess pressure in the fuel
tank will ‘blow off’ via the Ov er-pressure vent valve (part of
the roll over vent valves) in the Fuel Level vent valve
assembly.
Safety Precautions
Operations on fuel system resu lt in fuel liquid and vapour
being present in the working environment. This presents a
very serious risk and the following precautions must be
strictly observed:
Specifications
Warning
Operations on refuelling and the fuel system must only
be performed by personnel who have completed training on fuel handling.
Warning
Smoking must not be allowed near the working area. “NO SMOKING” signs must be posted around the
working area.
Warning
Any operation which could involve sparks or naked lights (e.g. battery testing, welding, metal grinding,
etc.) must not be allowed near the working area.
Warning
A CO2 fire extinguisher must be available close at hand.

Warning
Dry sand must be available close at hand to soak up any accidental fuel spillage.
Warning
If necessary, empty the fuel into an explosion proof container using suitable fireproof fuel handling
equipment.
Warning
The working area must be well ventilated.
Warning
Disconnect the battery before commencing work on the fuel system.
Warning
Depressurise the fuel system before disconnecting any fuel lines.
Pump Pressure
Nominal pump pressure 40 psi (2.7 bar) above inlet
manifold pressure.
