Fuel intake
11.9.1 Pickup body
Impurities which are entrained into
the fuel tank with the fuel are
trapped by the pick-up body. With
time, the fine pores in the pick-up
body become clogged with very fine
dirt particles. This reduces the
intake diameter and fuel can no
longer be delivered in sufficient
quantities.
Always check the fuel tank and pick-
up body first if problems develop in
the fuel supply.
