Operation Manual

GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
Diesel fuel vapors can be very explosive. Use caution when
working in or around the area of the fuel tank.
Before drilling into a fuel tank it is recommended to drain all fuel
from the tank.
Be very careful when drilling into a fuel tank. Sparks can be
caused by an electric drill or a drill bit that may cause an explosion. (SUGGESTION)
Apply heavy grease around the holes when drilling and tapping into fuel tank to keep
metal shavings from falling into fuel tank.
DO NOT SMOKE WHILE WORKING NEAR FUEL TANK.
VERY IMPORTANT!! Check fuel tank for baffles and gauge arms before drilling into
fuel tank. A fuel pick-up could interfere with the floats and render your fuel gauge
inoperable.
