of excess caulk may be required. You will be using existing fasteners. No drilling is required

Periodic inspection of the trailer hitch should be performed to ensure all

mounting hardware remains tight and structural components are secure.

access the passenger side bolts. It is highly recommended that the tank is well

supported before removing the fasteners as the tank may weigh as much as 80 lbs.
