ASSEMBLY AND

INSTALLATION

INSTRUCTIONS

NOTE: To prevent rust from occur­ring, touch-up any drilled holes.

1. Install drain plug into drain hole.

2. When installing model 352 Transfer

Tank with a 27" tool box in a full size
short bed pickup, the Tank will need to
be mounted with filler openings toward
center of the bed to avoid tool box hit­ting wheel wells. Except full size short
wheel base Dodge pickup, where a
27" wide box will not fit.

CAUTION

Transfer Tank bottom must be
fully supported by the floor of
the truck bed so as not to
cause flexing of the tank which
could cause stress cracks and
leakage of the tank.

3. Center the tank evenly between

the bed sides and mark eight mount­ing holes. For the "L" shaped tanks,
mark both holes of the side mounting
angles, as well as four evenly spaced
holes of the longer front mounting
angle. For the Model 358, mark four
holes evenly spaced in each mounting
angle.

WARNING

All floor mounting bolts near
the gas tank area should be
installed from the underside
of the vehicle, to guard against
the gas tank being punctured
in the event of a collision.

FUTURE TRANSFER TANK

REMOVAL

Empty all of the combustible liquid
and use all lifting hooks for safe
and controlled removal of transfer
tank from the vehicle.

CAUTION

To keep debris out of your eyes
when checking the underside
of the vehicle, or when drilling,
always wear protective eyewear.

WARNING

Prior to drilling, so as not to cut
or puncture fuel tanks, fuel
lines, brake lines, electric wires,
etc., check under vehicle for
locations.

4. Remove the tank and drill the

marked hole locations with a 7/16"
drill bit.

NOTE: If any drilled holes fall be­tween the ribs on the lower part of
the floor, it will be necessary to use
Floor Spacers between the Tank
mounting angle and the floor.

5. Replace tank and bolt securely.

6. Before installing Filler Cap Neck,

wrap threaded end with Pipe tape. Do
not use liquid or paste Plumber's pipe
dope. Install the filler cap neck, using
a pipe wrench to tighten.

7. Install Vented Fuel Cap.

NOTE: Use Pipe Tape when using a
manual or electric transfer pump on
the tank.

NOTE: Transfer tank and pump
must be grounded to prevent static
charge build-up.

WEATHER GUARD® PRODUCT
REFINISHING PROCEDURES

All WEATHER GUARD® products are

nished with a polyester powder coat-

fi
ing, and it is important to follow these
procedures to get proper adhesion.
As Knaack LLC. cannot control the
finishing of the products, the warranty
for
WEATHER GUARD® products on
paint is not applicable on refinished
products.

1. Sand the surface to be painted with
180-200 grit sand paper to rough up
the surface. This should be followed
by wet sanding with a 400 grit wet or
dry paper.

2. Wipe down the sanded surface with
ketone based thinner. This removes
the dust and softens the powder coat­ing for better paint adhesion.
