NOTE:
The fuel tank must be drained completely. Upon removal of the fuel pump (FP) module, the tank must be inspected for contamination.
CAUTION:
Clean the fuel tank of any dirt or foreign material before servicing the fuel pump (FP) module. In extreme dirt or dusty conditions it may be necessary to wash the fuel tank using a water hose.
