Fuel Tank Installation

[ree.eric]

Does the rear flange of the fuel tank go above or below the top flange of the cross frame C channel? Also thanks to the person who suggested using
cargo straps to raise the tank.

Eric,

I an recalling it has to be under the flange. If it is not, the straps will clamp it up to the flooring and that would not be desirable.

Thanks Matt,
That's what I thought, The tanks were above the flange when I removed them and one of the vent lines were flattened.

Vent line was probably crushed due to improper routing. Vent line rubs around edge of higher portion of tank. Cant be crushed between tank and
floor.

Not sure exactly what you are saying with your flange. Flanges to me seem to be above edge of c channel. Get j hooks on place with nuts and then
bring oppisite side up.

See Pictures??
