make sure it's empty, damn thing is awkward as it is, fuel moving around does not help. I recommend removing the seat first.

I agree. Remove the seat, Remove the tank cap and grommet, remove as much of the gas as you can (not required), unbolt the tank and sending unit and remove

Yah it's extremely easy, I thought the same thing
BTW cut the grommet, soooo much easier. And if I can do it myself, without scratch's, anybody can. Last edited by Georgie69; 02-15-2005 at 10:36 PM. |

If you arer using it for racing go with an 8 gallon. But if you want to use it for cruising go with a 16 or 20 gallon cell. Try Mopac down there we have one up here and they are resonably priced

I have a 20 gallon cell in my truck and it is just right! Iit is pretty big and takes up some space but I like the way it looks :-) its right in the front of my bed, and it holds just enough fuel for cruising around. On the track though I empty the tank completly and pour in 2-gallons of c-16 for better running and less weight.
