[DML] Re: Fuel Tank

["DMC Joe" <DMCJOE@xxxx>]

Luke,
DON'T REMOVE THE TANK. It is not necessary to remove the tank for cleaning.
the entire interior of the tank can be accessed through the fuel pump
opening. It does help to have slender arms to reach the far corners of the
tank. If you must remove the tank there are 6 foam rubber mounts
surrounding the tank, these mounts adhere to the adjoining frame pieces
with age. You will have to scrape these pieces away in order to remove the
tank. Removing the tank is no advantage to cleaning it is very labor
intensive and is not necessary.
