tank. Use dry cleaning solvent (E162) and cloths
(E135). Wear goggles to protect eyes. Wear

of fuel tank. If lining is broken, fuel
penetrates and activates self-sealing

fuel. Activated green spongy material
also contaminates fuel system. This
makes it necessary to replace fuel
tank and flush fuel system.
