12. Locate the drilled hole on the top of the fuel tank.
13. Place the preassembled bulkhead seal into the
newly drilled hole. See Figure 3-4.
Note: The fuel return line may temporarily need to
be moved upward through the top of the
bulkhead assembly for easier installation
into the fuel tank hole.
Note: To ensure that the bend of the fuel supply
hoses run along the center line length of the
tank, arrange the fuel lines so that the
supply line outlet and return line inlet are
both positioned at 90° degrees relative to
the center line of the fuel tank and pointed
toward the inside of the vehicle.

hand to tighten the 1/4-20 mounting bolt securely.

the fuel lines can no longer be rotated in the
assembly.

3. Place a hose clamp over the 8 mm (5/16 in.) dia.
fuel supply hose.
4. Slide the 8 mm (5/16 in.) dia. fuel supply hose over
