19.0 Gallon

Midship 19 Gallon Fuel Tank:






REMOVAL
1. Drain the fuel into a container by siphoning through the fuel hose at the fuel pump-to-fuel tube connection.
2. Disconnect battery ground cable to avoid electrical sparking at the tank. Then disconnect the fuel gauge sending unit wires at the fuel tank.
3. Vehicles with dual tanks, disconnect ground wire after draining both tanks. Loosen the clamp and disconnect the hose attached to the fuel tank by pulling along the rubber inner tube from the tank filler neck. On a vehicle equipped with a fuel evaporative emission control system, disconnect the vapor line from the vapor emission control valve.
4. Support the tank, remove the nuts and bolts from the retaining straps, and lower tank to floor. Replace any damaged parts.


INSTALLATION
1. Position retaining straps around fuel tank and attach bolts and nuts.
2. Insert the rubber inner tube inside the filler neck and connect the hose to the tank. On a vehicle equipped with a fuel evaporative emission control system, connect the vapor lines to the emission control valve located in the top of the vapor tank.
3. Fill tank with fuel, connect the battery ground cable, and start the engine. Check for leaks.
