Fuel system / Description and maintenance

1 The fuel system consists of a rear-mounted fuel tank, a mechanically-operated fuel pump and a carburettor and air cleaner.

2 On all engines except the 1301 cc a single venturi downdraught carburettor is fitted. On the 1301 cc version, a dual barrel carburettor is fitted.

3 Maintenance consists of periodically checking the condition and security of the fuel hoses to the pump and carburettor. The fuel pump cannot be cleaned or repaired and in the event of a fault developing, the pump must be renewed.

4 On ES versions, an electronic fuel cut-out device is fitted which reduces fuel consumption on overrun, see Chapter 9, Section 33.
