FUEL TANK CLEANING

WARNING: Fuel supply tubes on vehicles equipped with fuel injected engines will remain pressurized for long periods of time after engine shutdown. The pressure must be relieved before servicing the fuel system.

CAUTION: Remove the fuel pump and the fuel tank sending unit prior to steaming the fuel tank.

CAUTION: Care should be exercised not to deform the plastic reservoir inside the tank with excessively hot steam or direct contact with plastic surface.

^ The fuel tank does not require special service procedures and may be steam-cleaned and/or serviced using standard procedures.

^ After steaming, allow the fuel tank to thoroughly air dry. The fuel vapor valve should be replaced. Install the fuel tank.
