I hope it works out well .

I use soap and water and a soft bristle brush .

Keep an eye on the clear plastic fuel intake screen under the hood ~ it'll let you know the *instant* you begin to have fuel issues .

The tank strainer nut is huge, like 46MM but if you undo the hose from the chassis line and slip a box 17MM wrench up it you'll usually find the entire strainer, sub hose and all comes right out .

If the sub hose has any cracks in it simply cut the sheet metal crimp away and it slides with off exposing a standard hose nipple, no need to buy a $pecial sub hose, standard 7MM Diesel rated hose and one clamp will set you right again .
