Fuel Tank Removal
Gasoline is extremely flammable and can be explo-
sive under certain conditions. Make sure the area
is well-ventilated and free from any source of flame
or sparks; this includes any appliance with a pilot
light. Do not smoke. Turn the ignition switch OFF
and disconnect the battery (–) terminal.
To avoid fire, do not remove the fuel tank when the
engine is still hot. Wait until it cools down.
To make fuel spillage minimum, draw the fuel out
from the fuel tank when the engine is cold.
Be prepared for fuel spillage; any spilled fuel must
be completely wiped up immediately.
