Start engine and allow to run. Electric fuel supply pump runs.
In this way, the fuel is repumped through the suction jet pump and the tank expansion line from the left to the right side of the fuel tank.
NOTE:
Fuel can be drawn off from the left and right tank halves through the fuel filler pipe down to a small residual amount. This residual amount is drawn off after removal of the sensors for the fuel gauge (right/left).
Slide extraction hose of extractor unit, into filler pipe, turning hose slightly if necessary.
