Fuel Tank: Testing and Inspection
FUEL TANK, CAP GASKET AND FUEL LINES INSPECTION
- Check fuel tank, fuel filler cap and fuel lines for loose connection, deterioration or damage which could cause leakage. Make sure all clamps are secure.
- Check fuel filler cap gasket for an even filler neck imprint or any damage.
- Replace any damaged or deteriorated parts. There should be no sign of fuel leakage or moisture at any fuel connection.
Due to the fact that fuel feed line is under high pressure, use special care when servicing it.
