Installing the Fuel Pickup Tube Into a Plastic Tank
1. Tape the paper template (supplied with pickup tube) to the desired
location on the diesel fuel tank and center punch the three holes.
NOTE: Use grease or special hole saws/drills that will minimize
plastic chips from entering the fuel tank Thoroughly clean and flush
the tank to remove any chips.
2. Drill:
• 9.5 mm (0.375 in.) diameter holes first.
• 31.8 mm (1.250 in.) diameter hole next.
• Remove the template from the tank and remove any burrs from the
hole.
3. Cut the end of the pickup tube so approximately 25 mm (1.00 in.) is
above the bottom of the fuel tank.
4. Loosen the nut and slide all the parts to the top of the pickup tube
assembly.
5. Hold the parts in position and slide the assembly into the hole at a slight
angle until the bushing is inside the hole.
6. Tip the backup washer and slide it through the hole and position it onto
the bushing. Thread the nut onto the bushing, position as needed to
facilitate fuel line connections and tighten to 54 Nm. (40 ft-lb.).
DANGER: Diesel fuel vapors are potentially explosive. Use
extreme caution when drilling in or around the diesel fuel tank.
Sparks from an electric drill or drill bit could cause an explosion.
Do not smoke while working near the diesel fuel tank. Drain all
diesel fuel from the tank and use nitrogen or an inert gas to purge
the diesel fuel vapors from the tank prior to drilling. Keep the
diesel tank filled with inert gas while drilling.
