Instructions for relocating the tank

• Avoid unnecessary moving of the fuel tank. If it is

necessary to do so, follow the cautions listed below
and obtain the advice from NAFTA.

• Use MITSUBISHI FUSO authorized fuel hose when

replacing.

• Keep the distance from the filler end and the end of

air vent hose to;
• Over 300 mm {11.8 in.} to exhaust exit
• Over 200 mm {7.87 in.} to exposed electric

terminal

• Don't connect the fuel piping over the exhaust

pipes. Set the connection point where the fuel will
not splash on the exhaust system even if it will
leak.

• Install the tank securely to be free from loosening

or other defect with consideration of the effect of
vibration, layout, and other factors. Any custom
mounting brackets must be designed for sufficient
strength.

• Don't modify the MITSUBISHI FUSO genuine tank.
• Use following flange bolt and nut for mounting the

tank, and tighten them with following torque.
Some of the bolts that fix the tank on the frame are
tightened with frame component such as C/MBR.
These bolts and nuts must be tightened securely
again with new parts if you remove them through
the relocating process.

• Prevent direct contact of any metal parts (as clamp

to fix the fuel pump to brkt) to the fuel pump
housing to avoid electro chemical corrosion: use
plastic or rubber isolation between the fuel pump
and brkt.

• Attach a cover to the fuel pump, and the fuel pump

must be installed in the position that does not
catch mud and spray.

• Never extend the fuel lines.
• Use metal tubing for the fuel line inside the engine

compartment.

• Never modify the clips or move the location of

clamps for components in the engine compartment
which can be moved.

• Never install tubes together with electrical wires.
• Follow the procedures described in Section 9

"EXHAUST SYSTEM" when modifying exhaust
system components. Install a Heat insulation panel
if the specified clearances cannot be maintained.

• Be sure to position the fuel lines so that if a fuel

leak should somehow occur, the fuel will not drip
onto the muffler or exhaust pipe. Never connect
the fuel lines above the exhaust system.

• Use the nylon hose and the metal tube for

connection with the fuel tank of the supply piping
and the return piping.
The end shape of the metal tube must be
conformed by SAE J2044 standard.
Otherwise it may cause fuel leakage.
Please be sure to use the specified nylon hose and
metal tube.

• Never use the rubber hose to the supply line (From

the fuel pump to the engine)

7.5.5

Others

• Observe the procedures described in Section 6

"ELECTRICAL WIRING" when modifying the wires
connected with the fuel tank.

• Place the filler port of the fuel tank to allow easy

fueling.
