Cleaning and control
1. Remove the fuel level sensor from the tank. To remove dirt and deposits, flush the tank with gasoline. Then flush the tank with a stream of hot water and steam it to remove gasoline residue.
2. Carefully inspect the tank along the joint line and make sure there are no leaks. Solder any leaks along the joint with soft solder.
Warning! You can only solder a well-washed and steamed tank that does not contain gasoline vapors, so that there is no ignition or explosion during soldering.
