1. Any repair to the fuel tank or filler neck must be carried out by a professional with practical experience in this important and potentially hazardous job. Even after cleaning and flushing, explosive fumes may remain in the fuel system, which can ignite when the tank is repaired.
2. Do not place the removed fuel tank in an area where there are sparks or open flames that could ignite the fumes escaping from the tank. Be extremely careful when working in rooms where gas appliances are present, because they can cause an explosion of fuel vapors.
