Buying a used fuel tank: what to check

  1. Inspect lower shell for scrapes and rust: Examine bottom sumps for deep skid scrape gouges, puncture repairs, or heavy rust scale on metal tanks.
  2. Shake tank to detect loose internal baffles: Shake the empty tank to verify internal fuel slosh baffles have not broken away from internal spot welds.
  3. Verify filler neck and vent port integrity: Check that the filler neck opening, check-valve flap, and evaporative emission vent ports are undamaged.
  4. Confirm mounting strap isolators and heat shields: Check plastic heat shield attachment points and strap rubber isolator pad locations against your chassis layout.
  5. Flush internal stale fuel before installation: Rinse old fuel residue and dirt particles from inside the tank cavity before installing the fuel pump assembly.
