excessive heat. Always store fuel in proper, marked con-
tainers. DO NOT SMOKE.
1 Clean oil pan and intermediate bottom with diesel fuel oil. Inspect for rust, corrosion, dents, or
distortion
2 Scrape all traces of the gaskets and sealing compound from the sealing surfaces of the oil
pan, intermediate bottom, and engine crankcase.
3 Inspect the oil pan and intermediate bottom for dents, distortion, and torn or elongated
mounting holes that would prevent proper sealing.
