- Remove the fuel filler cap from fuel filler tube.

- Install the shaft piece - 1 - from the (VAS 5190) into the fuel tank filler tube.





- Insert the suction hose into the fuel tank until the mark made earlier - arrow - aligns with the shaft piece and extract the fuel. Refer to the (VAS 5190) operating instructions.

• A pressure point can be sensed after approximately 120 cm. Check valve in fuel tank must be pushed open. Pull out hose slightly and slide it in using a light jerk.
