Fuel Tank Removal
5. The fuel line is secured to the main wiring
harness with a cable tie. Do not cut or remove the
cable tie. Pivot the rear of the tank upward to
access the tank bottom. Support the rear of the
tank in this position.
6. Locate the pump harness electrical connector
under the tank. Carefully lift the tab and
disconnect the harness.
7. If servicing the air filter, skip this step. If
installing a new tank or servicing the fuel pump,
disconnect the vent and drain lines at the bottom
of the fuel tank.
8. Disconnect the fuel line from the fuel pump by
squeezing both fitting release tabs
simultaneously. Gently slide the fuel line off the
fitting.
9. Install the fuel tank fitting plug tool onto the fuel
pump fitting to protect the fitting and prevent
fuel from seeping from the tank.
NOTICE: DO NOT rest the fuel tank on the frame while
removing it. Fuel pump fitting damage can
occur.
10. Lift the rear of the fuel tank as high as clearance
at the front of the tank will allow to ensure
adequate clearance for the fuel line fitting under
the tank.
11. With the rear of the fuel tank raised, carefully
slide the tank rearward and off the front mounts.
When the tank is clear of the front mounts, lift the
tank up and away from the frame. Reinstall the
front isolators if they become dislodged.
