Check of a condition of components of a power supply system

It is worth to remember that gasoline is inflammable liquid in the highest measure! At service of components of a power supply system observe all taken measures of fire safety. Do not smoke, do not come nearer to a venue of works with open fire or unprotected by the lamp shade carrying. Do not make system service in the room equipped with working at 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 allow fuel hits 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 spilled fuel and do not put the rags impregnated with a fuels and lubricants near sources of open fire. Remember that the system of injection of fuel constantly is under pressure. Before starting a detachment of fuel lines, dump residual pressure (for more details see. Head of the Power supply system and production of the fulfilled gases). At service of components of a power supply system put on goggles. Constantly hold near at hand the class B fire extinguisher!

PERFORMANCE ORDER

1. Check of a condition of components of a power supply system is simplest for making on the car lifted over the earth, use the winch/lift, or tire out the car on a platform / a viewing hole.
2. At emergence in salon of the car of a smell of gasoline during movement or after long parking under direct sunshine it is necessary to make immediately careful survey of all components of a power supply system.
3. Uncover a jellied mouth of a fuel tank and check it on existence of damages and corrosion traces. On all perimeter of sealing laying should pass a continuous trace of dense pressing it to a tank mouth. In case of detection of defects replace laying.
4. Check a fuel tank and its jellied mouth on existence of punctures, cracks and other damages. Special attention give to survey of a place of a joint of a mouth with a tank. Sometimes rubber of a mouth starts to pass fuel owing to weakening of fixing collars, or as a result of material aging. 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 amateur mechanic.

At all do not make attempt of independent repair of a fuel tank (except for replacement of its rubber components) – онтакт 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 fuel tank. Check a condition of a material of tubes/hoses and reliability of fastening of all shtutserny connections. Also check the gasoline pipe lines going to system of injection of fuel. Make necessary repair, replace defective components (see. Head of the Power supply system and production of the fulfilled gases).
6. Components of system of catching of fuel evaporations (EVAP) (can be one more source of emergence of a smell of gasoline see. Head of the Control system of the engine and decrease in toxicity of the fulfilled gases).
