Quick Petrol Tank Removal

I was fed up with all the crud blocking the filter so I decided to remove the tank and give it a clean. Took 15min to remove air filters, fan, cables etc and a further 45min to remove the tank with the engine still in.

 

Well done, that man Everything looks in pretty good nick.

 

bet you bent the brazed on fuel pipe dragging the tank out

 

No I didn't, but you do need to be a bit careful when you wiggle the tank to get it out.

 

You didn't snap the tank straps, which often happens

 

its a piece of pi$$ with a type 4 engine ...

 

10 mins with a pickup...

specially if the owner strapped it in with old door rubbers...

 

Isn't everything?

 

Didn't even need WD40. Must be the benefit of a Californian.

 

Gave the tank a good shake and this is the result.




Just waiting for conc. HCl to arrive and I'll start the cleaning process.
