Fuel Tank Strap Fastener Notice

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 249 other vehicles, including the 2004 Saturn Vue, 2004 Saturn L300, 2004 Saturn Ion Red Line, 2004 Saturn Ion 3, and 2004 Saturn Ion 2. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

NOTE: Tighten the strap fasteners by steps, alternating between the fasteners, until the specified torque is reached. A failure to tighten the strap fasteners as specified will cause the bottom of the tank to flex upward. This will result in the fuel gauge indicating that there is fuel remaining in the tank when the tank is empty.
