Am now just beginning to instal all the PCV/AT/Stepper bypass stuff. I've never taken this tank off. Please could someone chime in and give me a check list on tank removal. I don't want to fall at first hurdle. ( I couldn't find any reference to tank removal in service manual or on this site, other than just take it off.). Would be most grateful.

Tank removal on Griso 8v.
- Thread starter rguzz
- Start date
Happy to:
Remove seat
Remove battery (two philip-head screws hold a bracket hidden under the top edge of the tank there)
Remove battery tray rubber (two lower bolts also holding the tank), & disconnect battery tray drain line
Remove tank vent lines from fittings (hidden behind the battery tray)
Remove front tank bolts
Raise tank slightly to get to the fuel pump plug, and disconnect the fuel line connector. The fuel line connector can be finicky as you've likely read here. Push the fuel line towards the fitting while pulling back on the gray ring. It does not take much force and will pull easily off on most. Some are a bit of a pain, just be patient.

You missed the electrical connector to the pump :mrgreen:
Actually it has been suggested that if the quick disconnect doesn't want to de-pressurising the fuel line by disconnecting the pump connector and then cycling the starter a few times can be of great assistance. Take care with the removal of the "Quick Disconnect' as the elbow it fits on is NOT available as a separate part.
