Hi I posted in the General discussion section as well, but wanted your feedback as well.
C30 Fuel Tank
Postby ginoc on Sat Oct 09, 2021 12:42 pm
How hard is it to remove the fuel tank on a C30? I was smelling some diesel coming from the fuel tank compartment, so I disassembled the step for access. When I did I noticed about 10-15 screws, bolts and drill bits left between the fuel tank and fuel tank well. I was able remove most screws with mechanical fingers, but two remain and are cutting into the tank. Short term I will shim up the space between the well wall and tank to limit the pressure on the screw, but eventually the tank will need to be removed. Not sure why the screws were left in there. This should be reviewed as it could become a environmental disaster.
