Easy way of removing gas tank 02 carb F.B.
#2
remove fuel line from petcock. attach lenght of fuel line to petcock, and go to a 5 gal. gas can. unplug vacum line fron petcock. attach section of "aquarium" air line to vacum port on petcock. turn petcock to reserve. suck on air line to create vacum to open petcock. pinch airline with hemostats. allow tank to drain. remove dash, and unplug wires. remove tank bolts. unplug fuel gague. on the crossover line attach 2 hemostats one near each barb on tank. cut crossover hose. some gas will spill. slide tank rearward and up off frame. if you have a vacum pump it will make draining the tank easier. needlenose visegrips will also work on the crossover line. 5/16 fuel line when you go back together. just short of one foot. i use high pressure clamps (fuel-injection) when i go back together. autozone. hope this helps. steve

Drain the tank outside your shop or take the crossover line off outside your shop and then push it back inside, trust me on this one. Never take a fuel line loose on a Harley in your garage without a lot of know how. Do it outside and save yourself from having to smell it in your garage the whole time you work on your bike. Trust me
