Subject: fuel tank removal
In reply to: William Aitken 's message, "Replacing Rusted Fuel Tank" on - Monday - 10/30/06 - 10:19am

I'm removing my fuel tank and can't see how to get to the fuel inlet neck. It is being held in place by a board across the top. Does anyone have instructions for tank removal.
thanks

Not entirely sure what you mean.

Is the fuel intake rubber or a brass pipe? Does it come up through the cockpit floor? Not sure what you mean by "a board across the top" Top of what?

On Murre the fuel intake was a brass pipe that stuck up above the cockpit floor about 2 inches and was epoxied in place w/fairing compound. No way to just "unscrew" it without pounding out the fairing compound. But once the fairing compound WAS removed, the pipe does unscrew nicely.

Bill posted a short article on my tank replacement job in the project section of the MOA site. Some of the pictures there may shed some light.

Hope this is at least a little helpful.
