Re: Fuel Leak :( --- Questions

["Ludo Andries" <ludoandries@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Reddy,

I saw my dealer removing the tank for replacing the fuel sender.
You do not have to drain the tank.
I took him about 5 minutes to remove the tank.
He unscrewed two bolts on the saddle side, the bolt in front and then
removed all the connected fuel lines.
These lines seem to be 'auto shut off' because no fuel escaped.
Even for an 'non tech' it must be possible to remove the tank without
problems.
When you remove the fuel lines make sure you remember what goes where for
when you have to reinstall the tank!

Cheers,
Ludo, Belgium
