Fuel Tank Cleaning

CAUTION: Remove the fuel pump module prior to steaming the fuel tank to prevent damage to the fuel pump module.

WARNING: FUEL SUPPLY LINES ON VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH FUEL INJECTED ENGINES WILL REMAIN PRESSURIZED FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME AFTER ENGINE SHUTDOWN. FUEL SYSTEM PRESSURE MUST BE RELIEVED PRIOR TO FUEL SYSTEM SERVICE TO PREVENT POSSIBLE INJURY.

Fuel tanks do not require special service procedures. The only service operation is steam cleaning to remove contamination using standard procedures. After steaming, allow to thoroughly air dry. The evaporative emission valve and fuel tank support strap bolts should also be replaced.
