Fuel Tank Removal
Diesel fuel is highly flammable. The fumes remaining in the tank after
it is drained are equally dangerous. USE EXTREME CARE WHEN
PERFORMING ANY WORK ON THE FUEL SYSTEM. Only qualified
personnel should be assigned to work on or repair the fuel system.
1. Remove the drain plug from the bottom of the tank and allow the fuel to drain into a suitable
container.
2. Disconnect the fuel supply and return lines from the tank elbow connections.
3. Disconnect the wires from the fuel level sending unit.
4. Support the tank from the underside.
5. Remove the self locking nuts from the four fuel tank mounting straps. The tank can now be low-
ered and removed from beneath the coach.
Fuel Tank Installation
1. Install the drain plug in the bottom of the fuel tank and tighten it securely.
2. If the control valve and/or whistle were removed, replace them as directed in the appropriate
procedure above.
3. Position the tank so it can be raised into proper location under the chassis frame rails. Raise the
tank into position.
4. Ensure that the frame liners and strap liners are in position to prevent chafing of the tank after
installation.
5. Install NEW self locking nuts on the fuel tank mounting straps. Do not reuse the nuts ; they lose
effectiveness after one use. Tighten the mounting nuts securely.
6. Reconnect the electrical wiring to the fuel level sending unit.
7. Wrap the threads of the feed and return fuel line connections with suitable sealant or tape and
connect the lines.
8. Fill the tank with fuel and bleed the supply line and filter to remove air. Check for leaks at the
line connections.
