Section 04 FUEL SYSTEM
Subsection 03 (FUEL TANK AND FUEL PUMP)
NOTE: A fuel tank is comprised of 2 components:
the tank and the filler neck. The necks are injec-
tion molded and the tank is then blow molded over
the necks. During the molding process, a small
molding seam may appear on the inner side of the
necks at approximately 4 mm (5/32 in) from the
base of the neck. It is a normal situation to have a
molding seam and it should not be confused with
a crack.
