Check of a condition of components of the power supply system

PERFORMANCE ORDER

It is not necessary to forget that gasoline is an inflammable liquid in the higher measure! At service of components of the power supply system observe all taken measures of fire safety. Do not smoke, do not come nearer to a place of work with open fire or the redurable not protected by a lamp shade. Do not make system service in the premise equipped working on natural gas and heating devices equipped with a control torch (such as водогреи and dryers for clothes). Do not forget that gasoline is among the cancerogenic substances promoting development of a cancer, - try not to suppose fuel hit on open sites of a body, use protective rubber gloves. At casual unforeseen contact carefully wash out hands warm water with soap. Immediately collect the spilt fuel and do not put the rags impregnated with PETROLEUM PRODUCTS near to sources of open fire. Remember that the system of injection of fuel constantly is under pressure. Before to start a detachment of fuel lines, dump residual pressure (see the Head of the Power supply system and release more in detail). At service of components of the power supply system put on goggles. Constantly hold near at hand the class fire extinguisher In!

1. Check of a condition of components of the power supply system most easier to make on the car lifted over the earth, - take advantage of the lebedkoj/lift, or tyre out the car on a platform / a viewing hole.
2. At occurrence in salon of the car of a smell of gasoline during movement or after long parking under direct solar beams it is necessary to make immediately careful survey of all components of the power supply system.
3. Uncover a jellied mouth of a fuel tank and check up it on presence of damages and corrosion traces. On all perimetre of a sealing lining should pass a continuous trace of its dense pressing to a tank mouth. In case of revealing of defects replace a lining.
4. Check up a fuel tank and its jellied mouth on presence of punctures, cracks and other damages. Special attention give to survey of a place of a joint of a mouth with a tank. Sometimes mouth rubber starts to pass fuel owing to easing of fixing collars, or as a result of material ageing. Estimate reliability of fastening of a tank. Here those from possible problems are listed only, diagnostics and which elimination of the reasons lies within qualification of the average mechanic-fan.

At all do not make attempt of independent repair of a fuel tank (except for replacement of its rubber components) - contact containing even in carefully aired tank of residual fuel evaporations with a torch of a gas torch or any other source of an open flame can cause their detonation!

5. Attentively examine all rubber hoses and the metal tubes of fuel lines going from a petrol tank. Check up a condition of a material of tubes/hoses and reliability of fastening of all штуцерных connections. Also check up the gasoline pipe lines going to system of injection of fuel. Make necessary repair, replace defective components (see the Head of the Power supply system and release).
6. One more source of occurrence of a smell of gasoline leaks in components of system of catching of fuel evaporations (EVAP) (see the Head of the Power supply system and release) can be.
