Part 2: Installing the Tank and
Hoses
2.1 Installing the Tank
Use Loctite on all bolts.
□ Place the tank support brackets in position on the driver side of
the frame, just behind the cross member mounting bolts.
If the tank cannot be mounted on the driver side frame
rail, it can be mounted on the passenger side, but will
require a hose extender kit (see the appropriate section
in General Information).
□ Set the first bracket 7 inches and the second bracket
approximately 23 inches back from the cross-member mounting
bolts in the frame (Figure 2.1).
□ Remove the pinch bolts from the C-clamps, spread them slightly
and fit them over the tank.
□ Install the pinch bolts and tighten them enough to hold the C-
clamps in place but still permit movement.
□ Place the tank in position on the frame and thread the bolts
through the C-clamps into the mounts, but do not tighten.
System V900085 has two bolts attaching each C-clamp
to the bracket while system V910005 has four bolts.
□ Adjust the tank so that the front of the tank is 6 inches from the
front C-clamp (Figure 2.1). Rotate the tank so that the “UP”
arrow points upward.
□ Tighten the C-clamps.
