I am currently involved in the repair of an M1009. I do several repairs each year to customers CUCV's. I have decided to post the repairs. This M1009 belongs to a return customer and is in decent condition. It was brought to me with a leaking fuel tank. ![DSCF6661.jpg DSCF6661.jpg](https://www.steelsoldiers.com/data/attachments/539/539702-95023bbfaed6a72f5cc1550743cb9907.jpg)

I was going to make it easy on myself and set a goal of getting the skid plate off. It was cold and wet out today and I was working out on the dirt driveway. Stock clean M1009. It is 35* out today. Lets see how it goes. All stock everything. I put 13 G AC Delco's in it 3 years ago. That was the last time I seen it. ![DSCF6665.jpg DSCF6665.jpg](https://www.steelsoldiers.com/data/attachments/539/539705-0ed1e8b1cc8cdf8c4b9f5ecfc325d4d6.jpg)

Glowed it and the wait light went on and it glowed the normal time and started on the first few revolutions. ![DSCF6666.jpg DSCF6666.jpg](https://www.steelsoldiers.com/data/attachments/539/539706-de42a3a026c1646f9a8e3ebd328aaaec.jpg)

My first observation is that this fuel tank in this M1009 has been disassembled before. The strap nuts are supposed to have 2 on top. 1 to tighten the strap and then the wire loom clips and another nut to serve as a lock nut. PB Blasted the skid plate bolts and they were not the stock ones either. All is well. I used up my maximum pictures in this open post. Needless to say I will repost tonight. Happy Holidays.
