  3. Inspect the fuel tank straps for damage or wear. Replace them if necessary.
  4. Inspect the fuel tank for leaks or damage. Replace the tank if necessary.

    5. Important: Do not attempt to repair a damaged fuel tank; always replace a damaged fuel tank.

  5. Inspect the fuel lines for damage or wear.
  6. Remove the safety stands and lower the vehicle. Remove the chocks from the tires.
