Fuel Tank Leak Test: Notes
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Pontiac Vibe. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
WARNING:
Place a dry chemical (Class B) fire extinguisher near the area before performing a fuel tank leak check. Before removing the fuel tank for a suspected leak, make sure that the fuel pipes or the tubes are not leaking onto the tank. Once removed, make sure that the fuel is not leaking around the fuel sender "O" ring. Failure to follow these precautions may result in personal injury.
