miketomcat Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 It comes out the bottom but you will need to open the inspection hatch under the seat and it will be easier with the floor removed. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulnb57 Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Its a nut and bolt job, as said, from the bottom, however the last one I did, I had a hell of a job getting the old tank out, perseverence got the job done, it's a fiddle getting the new tank in as well, at the factory I bet the tank is fitted to a bodyless chassis....the fuel filler pipe is an absolute joy, rusted jubilee clips and not much room.... Good Luck! Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
