GENERAL DESCRIPTION

All models use an 18.5 gallon capacity (approx.) fuel

tank mounted between the frame rails behind the rear

axle (fig. 32). All fuel tanks are vented through an anti-

surge type filler cap assembly consisting of cap and
handle. The carrying straps hook through a double slot

in the front of the rear compartment reinforcements and

attach to strap bolts positioned in slots provided at the

rear panel reinforcements. A conventional fuel meter

assembly is mounted on top of the tank and cannot be

removed for service without lowering the tank. The

upper filler neck assembly is routed through an opening

in the rear panel above the bumper and through the trunk

floor pan (fig. 33). The filler neck is not centered in the

rear panel but offset to the right to obtain the proper fill

rate.

The fuel pickup pipe is an integral part of the tank

meter unit^ located at the top front center of the tank. A

fine mesh screen is located at the bottom end of the fuel

pickup pipe to prevent the entrance of foreign material

into the fuel system.

The gasoline lines extending from fuel tank to fuel

the right side, opposite the single exhaust system. The

lines extend from the fuel tank to the right side of the

engine to the fuel pump and over the front of the engine

to the carburetor.

Maintenance

CAUTION:

plete fuel
Always drain gasoline from corn-

including carburetor, fuel

pump and
fuel lines and fuel tank if the

vehicle is to be stored for any
eciable

length of time. This precaution will prevent

accumulation of gum formation and resultant

poor engine performance.

The fuel lines should occasionally be inspected for

leaks,
kinks, or dents. If evidence of dirt is found in the

carburetor or fuel pump disassembly, the lines should be

disconnected and blown out. Check the fuel tank strainer

for damage or omission. Fuel lines are of 5/16" diameter

tubing for regular installation with beaded-type ends for

connections to hoses and flared ends for secure line

connections.
