GENERAL
Hardware that is removed must always be installed in its
original position unless otherwise specified. If torque
values are not specified, refer to the Torque Specifica-
tions table in the GENERAL INFORMATION AND ROU-
TINE MAINTENANCE section.
The fuel system consists of a fuel tank, fuel lines, fuel fil-
ter, fuel pump, carburetor and CARB Canister (Figure 1)
(Figure 2) (Figure 3).

To decrease the risk of serious injury or death
resulting from a possible explosion, do not
smoke near the fuel tank or refuel near open
flame or electrical items which could produce a
spark.
Always wear safety glasses
while refueling to decrease
the risk of possible eye injury
from gasoline or gasoline
vapor.
When refueling, inspect the fuel cap for leaks
or breaks that could result in fuel spillage.
Do not handle fuel in an area that is not ade-
quately ventilated. Do not permit anyone to
smoke in an area where vehicles are being
fueled.
The fuel tank is located under the passenger seat (Figure
1) (Figure 2).
Fill tank with fresh, clean, automotive grade, unleaded, 87
octane (minimum) gasoline. High altitude or heavy use/
load applications may benefit from higher octane gaso-
line.
Early Production Fuel Tank
Do not over fill the fuel tank. Allow adequate space
for the expansion of gasoline. Leave at least 1" (2.5
cm) space below bottom of filler neck.
Early production tanks can be identified by the sending
unit and the siphon tube as shown in (Figure 1).
Early production fuel tanks require enough space for the
expansion of the gasoline. Leave at least 1-inch (2.5 cm)
of space below the bottom of the filler neck.
