Before You Start

Read this manual before attempting installation so that you can

familiarize yourself with the components and how they fit on the

vehicle. Identify variations for different model years and different

situations that are listed in the manual. Open the package, unpack

the components and identify them.

All fasteners must be torqued to specifications. Use manufacturers

torque values for OEM fasteners. Apply Loctite 242 or equivalent on

all engine-mounted fasteners. Torque values are with Loctite applied

unless otherwise specified.

Hose Coding

Different frame designations will affect the tank mounting position. If

you have to move the tank, the lines may be too short. Measure the

hose shortfall and order a Hose Extender Kit. The following table
