emergency as a result of a breakdown or
accident:
unscrew the fixing devices 1 fig. 35,
then remove the cover 2;
Close the LPG cock rotating the ring 1
fig. 36 clockwise.
Refit the cover and retighten the
fastening devices.
LPG TANK
The car has a pressurised tank for storing
LPG in a liquid state. It is toroidal and is
located in the spare wheel compartment
with suitable protection.
LPG tank certification
The LPG tank is certified in accordance
with the regulations in force.
In Italy, the tank has a life of 10 years
starting from the car registration date. If
the vehicle has been registered in a
country other than Italy, the duration and
the testing/inspection procedures of the
LPG tank can vary depending on the
national provisions in force in that
country. In any case, when the time limit
in the individual country has run out, go to
an Alfa Romeo Dealership to have the
tank replaced.
