NOTE
Note the orientation of the elbow when removed so that it can be reinstalled on the
new tank in the same orientation.

7. Disconnect 1/4-inch fuel line (Figure 1, Item 3) from fuel tank inlet elbow (Figure 1, Item 4).
NOTE
Due to the tight clearances of the fuel tank, it may be necessary to remove the fuel
tank filler neck to gain the needed clearance to slide the tank out of the MTRCS
frame. If you need to remove the filler neck, perform steps 8 through 10.
8. Remove six screws (Figure 1, Item 27), lock washers (Figure 1, Item 29), and washers (Figure 1, Item 28)
securing filler neck flange (Figure 1, Item 26) to tank (Figure 1, Item 9). Discard lock washers.
CAUTION
Foreign debris inside a fuel tank can cause severe damage to engine and accessory
component. When removing sealant from filler neck flange, use care not to allow
pieces of sealant to drop inside of tank.
9. Cut sealant away from filler neck flange (Figure 1, Item 26).
10. Break seal on filler neck flange (Figure 1, Item 26) and remove filler neck flange (Figure 1, Item 26).

(Figure 1, Item 8) securing fuel tank (Figure 1, Item 9) to frame. Discard lock washers.
WARNING
The fuel tank empty weight is approximately 225 pounds and is awkward to install
into the MTRCS frame. Use 5-6 persons to install tank to prevent personal injury.
