(yes I used search)
Is it going to be as easy as undoing the fastener on the top and pulling up? Anything I should look out for? I need to remove the tank so I can get it cleaned out at the local boil-n-go radiator shop. Also, 'While I'm In Thereā¢' anything else I should be doing? |

I removed my tank a couple of weeks ago. Didn't have to remove the hood, and then I put a big handful of small nuts in it with a gallon of paint thinner and shook the bergeezus out of it....Cleaned it very well.
The trickiest part was getting the side rubbers back in by myself when reinstalling the tank. What I did was cut two small wood wedges and wedged the rubbers in position, and removed the wedges once the tank was in place.....Worked great! |
