CLEANING FUEL SYSTEMS
If trouble is due to contaminated fuel or foreign ma
terial that has been put into the tank, it can usually
be cleaned. If tank is rusted internally, it should be
replaced.
1. Disconnect battery and ignition coil primary wire
(+ wire on ignition coil).
2. Drain fuel tank. (See DRAINING FUEL TANK.)
3. Remove fuel tank. (See REMOVAL OF TANK.)
4. Remove fuel inlet filter at carburetor and inspect
for contamination. If filter is plugged, replace.
(Leave fuel line disconnected.)
5. Locate tank away from heat, flame or other source
of ignition. Remove fuel gauge tank unit and inspect
condition of filter. If filter is contaminated, a new
filter should be installed upon reassembly.
6. Complete draining of tank by rocking it and allowing
fuel to run out of tank unit hole.
7. Purge fuel tank with steam or running hot water for
at least five minutes. Pour water out of tank unit
hole. (Rock tank to assure complete removal of
water.)
IMPORTANT:
This procedure will not remove
fuel vapor. Do not attempt any repair on tank or
filler neck where heat or flame is required.
8. Disconnect inlet fuel line at pump and use air
pressure to clean fuel line and fuel return line (if
equipped). Apply air pressure in the direction fuel
normally flows through line.
9. Use low air pressure to clean pipes on tank unit.
10. Install new filter on fuel tank unit if required. Install
fuel tank unit with new gasket into tank and install
tank. Connect tank unit wires and all fuel lines
except pump to carburetor line. (See REMOVAL OF
TANK for proper procedure).
11. Connect a hose to fuel line at carburetor; insert
other end of hose into a one gallon fuel can.
12. Connect battery cable. MAKE SURE IGNITION COIL
PRIMARY WIRE (+ TERMINAL) IS DISCONNECTED.
13. Put six gallons of clean fuel in tank and operate
starter to pump two quarts of fuel into fuel can.
This will purge fuel pump.
14. Remove hose and connect fuel line to carburetor.
