Volkswagen Golf Service & Repair Manual: Safety precautions when painting natural gas-powered vehicles
DANGER!
| Excessively high drying temperatures endanger life!
High temperatures increase the pressure in the tank for
natural gas or liquefied petroleum gas. Excessive
pressure can cause the tank for natural gas or liquefied
petroleum gas to burst, causing severe injuries or
death. |
| High temperatures trigger the thermal fuse of the
cut-off valve on natural gas tanks. Increased pressure
due to high temperatures triggers the pressure relief
valve on liquefied gas tanks. Gas escapes from the tank
for natural gas or liquefied gas and, in the presence of
sparks, can produce a jet of flames. This may result in
severe injuries or death. |
| |
Never expose gas-conducting components to
temperatures higher than +60°C. |
| |
For drying in an oven above +60°, first remove all
tanks for natural gas or liquefied gas and vent all gas
lines. |
| |
For infrared drying, never expose gas-conducting
components of the high-pressure storage system to
temperatures above +60°. |
|

working on gas-powered vehicles (»LPG«
or »CNG«): |

headlights
If a right-hand drive vehicle is driven in a left-hand drive
country, or vice versa, the headlights must be converted. This
is necessary in order to avoid dazzling oncoming traffic with
the asymmetric low beam headlights.

Waxing and polishing the vehicle
First read and observe the introductory information
and safety warnings Waxing
Waxing protects the paintwork. You will need to re-wax the vehicle with a good
hard wax if water no longer clearly forms small drops
and runs off the paintwork when it is clean.
Even if a wax solution is used re ...
