Fuel Tank Cleaning

CAUTION:
- Drain the fuel tank and remove it from the vehicle before attempting to clean it.

- Remove the fuel pump and the fuel level sensor prior to cleaning the fuel tank.

- Care should be exercised not to deform the plastic reservoir inside the fuel tank with excessively hot steam in 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 cleaning, allow the fuel tank to thoroughly air dry. The fuel vapor valve should be replaced.
