Observe the following When Working on the Fuel System:

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2015 Volkswagen Golf. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
WARNING:

Very hot fuel can cause burns.

  • In extreme cases, the temperature of the fuel lines and fuel can reach up to 100 °C (212 °F) after stopping the engine. Let the fuel cool down before opening any line connections, otherwise there is a danger of scalding.
  • Wear safety gloves.
  • Wear protective eyewear.
CAUTION:

There Is a Risk of Injury Due to the Fuel Being under Pressure.

The fuel system is under pressure. Injuries are possible from fuel spraying out.

Before opening the fuel system:

-- Wear protective eyewear.

-- Wear safety gloves.

-- Reduce the pressure: place clean cloths around the connection point and carefully open the connection point.

CAUTION:

Risk of a Fire Due to Leaking Fuel.

When the battery is connected, the door contact switch activates the fuel pump when opening the driver door. Leaking fuel can ignite and start a fire.

-- Before opening the fuel system, interrupt the power supply to the fuel pump.
