Guidelines for removing fuel tank when performing welding work on bodies - AH60.00-P-3000-01Z
All models
When a repair or partial rebuilding of the listed parts is being carried out, a supervisor must decide whether to remove the fuel tank depending on the nature and extent of the damage in each individual case.
In vehicles with a fuel evaporation control system, the system must be covered with a welding protection blanket or removed when welding work is being carried out near the incoming vent pipe or activated charcoal canister.
