On
vehicles where the fuel line is secured
to
the fuel tank outlet by a spring steel clip,
it
is recommended that such
clips are released before the fuel line is disconnected or the fuel tank unit is removed. This procedure will avoid the
possibility of residual petrol fumes in
the
fuel tank being ignited when the clips are released.
As an added precaution fuel tanks should have a
PETROUGASOLINE VAPOUR warning label attached

REPAIR
Under no circumstances should a repair to any tank involving heat treatment be carried out without first rendering
the tank SAFE, by using
one of the following methods:
STEAMING: With the filler cap and tank unit removed, empty the tank. Steam the tank for at least two hours
with low pressure steam. Position the tank
so
that condensation can drain away freely, ensuring that any
sediment and sludge not volatised by the steam, is washed out during the steaming process.
BOILING: With the filler cap and tank unit removed, empty the tank. Immerse the tank completely in boiling
water containing
an
effective alkaline degreasing agent or a detergent, with
the
water filling and
also
surrounding the tank for at least two hours.
After steaming or boiling a signed and dated label to this effect should be attached to the tank
