Removal

WARNING:
- Compressed natural gas is flammable and highly explosive. You could be killed or seriously injured if leaking natural gas is ignited.
- Stop the engine, and keep heat, sparks and flames away.

NOTE: When you do this procedure, the fuel tank suffers. Do not reinstall the original fuel tank. Install a new fuel tank.

1. Relieve the fuel tank.
2. Remove the high mount brake light. Remove the left-rear door, rear seat, rear shelf, rear console, trunk trim panel, spare tire lid and rear tray panel.




3. Raise the vehicle on a lift, and remove the under-floor cover.




4. Remove the three fuel pipes at the fuel joint block and the two fuel joint block mounting nuts.




5. Remove the fuel joint block plate from inside the passenger compartment.




6. Remove the frame members, and disconnect the 6P connector.




7. Remove the tank frame mounting bolts.




8. Disconnect the vent hose from the fuel tank.
9. Push the front seats forward, and cover the seats and floor with a tarp or similar material.




10. With the assistance of two other technicians, lift the frame, and slide the entire fuel tank assembly into the passenger compartment. Be careful not to damage the fuel joint block.
11. Rotate the fuel tank so the fuel joint block and the frame can clear the door opening, then carefully remove the fuel tank assembly from the vehicle.
