REMOVAL
Remove fuel tank from body according to procedure described in
Section 6C and remove fuel pump from fuel tank.
INSPECTION
Check fuel pump filter for evidence of dirt and contamination. If
present, clean and check for presence of dirt in fuel tank.
INSTALLATION
Install fuel pump to fuel tank and then install fuel tank to body
according to procedure described in “Section 6C”.
