13. Disconnect the lower hydraulic oil strainer hose from

the strainer connection (Fig. 7-19, 15) and cap hose.

14. Disconnect the return hose from the lower fitting

(Fig. 7-19, 16).

15. Position and connect a suitable chain support to the tank

lifting point (Fig. 7-19, 17), and take up slack in chain.

16. While supporting the tank, remove the four 5/8-11

hex nuts (Fig. 7-19, 18) and lockwashers (19)

securing the tank to the vehicle frame. Pull tank

away from the tank carriage bolts (20) and remove

tank. Retain hardware for reuse.

b. Disassembly

The fuel/hydraulic oil reservoir is a one-piece unit and

cannot be disassembled. The fuel level indicator and

hydraulic filters can be removed and reused on the new

replacement reservoir. Dispose of the old reservoir

according to local regulations concerning hazardous

materials disposal.

c. Cleaning and Drying

If contaminated fuel, hydraulic oil or foreign material is in

the tank, the tank can usually be cleaned.

Note: If a leak is suspected between the fuel and hydraulic

oil tank, contact OmniQuip Service Department at:

Domestic: 1-800-439-8959

International: 1-262-268-8957

To clean the fuel/hydraulic oil tank:

1. Have a dry chemical (Class B) fire extinguisher near

the work area.

2. Depending on which side of the tank is contaminated

(fuel or hydraulic oil), remove the fuel or oil tank

drain, plug and safely drain any fuel or hydraulic oil

into a suitable container. Dispose of fuel or hydraulic

oil properly.

3. Clean the fuel/hydraulic oil tank with a high-pressure

washer, or flush the tank with hot water for five

minutes and drain the water. Dispose of

contaminated water properly.

4. For the fuel tank side, add a diesel fuel emulsifying

agent to the tank. Refer to the manufacturer’s

instructions for the correct emulsifying agent-to-

water mixture ratio. Refill the tank with water, and

agitate the mixture for 10 minutes. Drain the tank

completely. Dispose of contaminated water properly.

5. Refill the fuel tank with water until it overflows.

Completely flush the tank with water. Empty the fuel

tank and allow it to dry completely.

d. Inspection

Note: If a leak is suspected between the fuel and hydraulic

oil tank, contact OmniQuip Service Department at:

Domestic: 1-800-439-8959

International: 1-262-268-8957

1. Inspect the fuel/hydraulic oil tank thoroughly for any

cracks, slices, leaks or other damage.

2. With the fuel/hydraulic oil tank removed from the

vehicle, plug all openings except one elbow fitting.

Install the elbow fitting and apply approximately

1-1.5 psi (7-10 kPa) of air pressure through the

elbow. Check the tank for leaks by applying a soap

solution to the exterior, and look for bubbles to

appear at the cracked or damaged area.

e. Assembly

The fuel/hydraulic oil reservoir is a one-piece unit and

cannot be disassembled. The fuel level indicator and

hydraulic filters can be removed and reused on the new

replacement tank. Dispose of the old tank according to

local regulations concerning hazardous materials

disposal regulations.

f. Fuel/Hydraulic Oil Tank Installation

1. Attach the fuel/hydraulic oil tank (Fig. 7-19, 7) to a

suitable lifting device at the lift point (17).

2. Place the four 5/8-11 carriage bolts (Fig. 7-19, 20)

into the slotted holes in frame.

3. Position the tank (Fig. 7-19, 7) and insert carriage

bolts through tank attachment holes. Install four 5/8"

lockwashers (19) and 5/8" hex nuts (18) onto the

carriage bolts. Finger tighten the hex nuts onto

carriage bolts. Slide tank and carriage bolts toward

the front of vehicle until carriage bolts are bottomed

out into the slotted frame holes.

4. Install the fuel sender with new gasket (Fig. 7-19, 6)

into the fuel tank.

5. Attach fuel sender harness connectors (Fig. 7-19, 1)

to the sender unit, and secure with #10 x 5/8" screws

(5). DO NOT overtighten.

DANGER: NEVER weld in, on, near or

around the fuel/hydraulic oil reservoir. Fuel and

hydraulic fluid and fumes can cause the

reservoir to explode. This can result in death or

serious personal injury.

WARNING: NEVER drain or store fuel in

an open container due to the possibility of

explosion or fire. Discard the fuel in an

approved manner.
