take off dash, disconnect fuel pump and vaccuum hose, swing dash out of the way. push up on the chrome part where the fuel line enters the tank on the lower left side of it and the line will come out easily. Here's what i didso there wasn't any fuel spillage. Clamp the crossover hose (In front of tank on bottom) in2 spots, and cut the hose in the center, and stick2 bolts in the hose ends and un-clamp your hose. Takethe2 bolts that hold the tank in place on the frame out. Lift up gently, the fuelgauge is still attached. I did this by myself, but you might wanna get someone else to gently hold the tank up, so you can disconnect the fuel gauge which is located underneath the tank. Goodluck.
ps. the newcrossover hose is 1/4", not 5/16"
The manual tells you to pull the fuse for the fuel pump and crank it a bit (perhaps run until it dies) then it is safe to remove the fuel connector. That just depressurizes that line. If I remember right, it is a quick disconnect type of thing where you push up or pull down on the sleeve and it releases easily.
Just curious here, and only because I followed the manual the first time I did it, taking out the fuse, cranking the motor(never started anyway) etc....
The next time I did it, I forgot to do the fuse / crank motor thing, unplugged the fuel line, completed project, etc...
Not following the manual instructions, what could I have hurt, anything?
Just curious...

[sm=forgetit.gif][sm=itsok.gif]It's not going to hurt anything. They just want you to depressurize the fuel lineso gas won't spray all over when youdisconnect it.The manual usually tells you to disconnect the battery/ pull a fuse, etc.to insure that there won't be any possibility of sparks or engine starts, before almost any service. The service procedures are established with the approval of lawyers for liability reasons. Lot's of unnecessary steps in the service manuals.
Has anyone removed their bob's tank?If so how.
I ask 'cause it looks a little different from my old ironhead,
what with the fuel injection and all.
Thanks in advance,
Bob
Don't you hate it when you get the reply..."go buy the manual". I mean, WTF? Isn't that why we ask?
