need help.
I'm pulling my front gas tank off it has not been used in 5 years and is leaking real bad now.I have it down and the hoses off but I am having trouble getting the gas lines off can anyone help
Thanks Southpaw.az

 

You have to use the removal tool.
You use two different size tools.
Spray WD-40 in first and then twist the line to brake the "O" rings loose.
Push the line toward the tank and while holding it there stick the tool all the way in.
While holding the tool all the way in pull the line off the tank.
Most do not have much luck using the metal tools.
Do not try to pull the lines off without the line released or you will mess it up.

The kepper missed up:

Thanks Subford
I tried what you said and removed one line.
The other line will not move forward and seems to not want to break loose

 

You just have to work with it.

 

Thanks
I'll get it

Can I still drive with the front tank gone till I can find one somewhere,if so what do I do with the fuel lines that are hanging there
Southpaw.az

 

No because the tank check valves are in the tank and you would shoot gas out of both lines.
Sorry.

 

I just replaced both of my tanks last week too.
yea, them fuel lines tricky.... I finally asked enough local people and figured it out, good luck.....

 

Thanks Subford for all your help.
I guess I'll be looking for a tank this coming week.
they say while the tank is out to replace the pump with a new one is that so.

If you are paying somebody to do the work it would be cost efficient.
I do not do it as I do all my on work.

 

Hey Subford I finily got the gas line off the tank thanks
Could I replace the tank using one from a diesel truck and if I can does it have to be cleaned out with something .

I do not know for sure but do not think so.
The gas trucks have a pump in the tank and the Diesel trucks do not.
So I would think the hole for the sending unit in the top of the tank for a Diesel would be smaller than the gas truck with a pump.
