Attention! When servicing the fuel system, observe fire safety regulations. On cars with injection engines, disconnect any hoses after decompression procedures.
1. The fuel system is best checked when the vehicle is raised with a hoist or placed on stands to provide access to the components from the bottom and to make the work as easy as possible.
2. If you smell gasoline while driving or after parking your car in the sun, the fuel system needs an immediate, thorough check.
3. Check the condition of the tank and filler pipe while under the car. Pay special attention to the connection of the filler pipe to the tank. Punctures, cracks and mechanical damage are not allowed.
4. Carefully inspect all rubber hoses and tubes coming from the tank. Check the reliability of the connections, the presence of signs of wear, pinching and other damage on the hoses. Especially carefully inspect the condition of the ventilation tubes and tank hoses, which often wrap around the neck and get pinched or clogged. Monitor the condition of the hoses along their entire length, to the front of the car. Replace damaged sections of the pipelines.
5. If you still smell gasoline after checking, check the evaporative emission system (see subsection 5.13).
