Service Procedure, Label & Claim Information

Figure 1Inspection of Fuel Tank As Viewed From Beneath Vehicle:

SERVICE PROCEDURE

1. Place vehicle on hoist and disconnect negative battery cable.

2. Raise vehicle, observing instructions and cautions listed in applicable 1989 Chevrolet service manual (Section OA) regarding hoisting of vehicle.

3. Using Figure 1, find precise area on bottom of fuel tank to be inspected. The view in Figure 1 is looking up at the bottom of the fuel tank (bottom of Figure 1 is toward the vehicle front end). Figure 1 is a view looking up at the fuel tank bottom at an angle from the rear. ONLY the area shown inside the circle on the Figure is to be inspected. Any waviness of the sheet metal OUTSIDE the dashed box is acceptable.

It is expected that only one of every six fuel tanks inspected will be deformed as shown in Figure 1. Other areas of the tank surface may have some waviness which does not affect tank life.

If the deformation ("raised area") is found at the exact location shown in the Figures, proceed to Step 4; otherwise proceed to Step 6.

4. If the vehicle has a 2.8L engine (VIN Code W), obtain a Fuel Tank P/N 22536716 to replace the tank on the vehicle. For a 2.0L engine (VIN Codes 1, K, L or M), obtain Fuel Tank P/N 22527083.

Also, obtain a fuel sender O-ring and sound insulators as listed in the Parts Information section.

5. Replace the fuel tank, observing the instructions and CAUTIONS as listed as the appropriate 1989 Chevrolet Service Manual, Section 6C.

6. Lower vehicle, reconnect negative battery cable and install Campaign Identification Label.
