Mercury F87Z-9002-SA Fuel Tank Assembly

Non-corrosive steel or polyethylene plastic is used in making the fuel tanks of these vehicles. Polyethylene plastic fuel tanks have no reliable repair options, so they must be replaced. Any repairs to be done on steel fuel tanks and filler necks should be done by a professional only. When removing the fuel tank, keep it away from sparks or open flames. There is need for caution when walking through garages with natural gas appliances because the pilot light can ignite an explosion. If the tank has been steam cleaned or serviced, replace the vapor valve assembly and all grommets and seals to prevent leaks.
