Fuel Tank: Testing and Inspection

FUEL LINES AND CONNECTIONS INSPECTION



- Check the fuel lines for cracks or leakage, and all connections for deformation.
- Check the fuel tank vapor vent system hoses and connections for looseness, sharp bends or damage.
- Check the fuel tank for deformation, cracks, fuel leakage or tank band looseness.
- Check the filler neck for damage or fuel leakage.

- If a problem is found, repair or replace the parts as necessary.

WARNING: Do NOT attempt to weld the fuel tank or lines, as the fumes (even in a dry tank) are extremely flammable and could cause an explosion.
