Body Repairs
Plastic fuel pipes are particularly susceptible to heat, even at relatively low temperature, and can be melted by heat conducted from some distance away.
When body repairs involve the use of heat, all fuel pipes which run in the vicinity of the repair area must be removed, and the tank outlet plugged.
WARNING:
If welding is to be carried out in the vicinity of the fuel tank, the fuel system must be drained and the tank removed before welding commences.
