How To Remove Fuel Tank

[Guest chrischow]

When taking out the tank , just

unplug all the whatever tubes and the petrol tube , right?

I know it does not have fuel knob to turn one ..

can someone clarify?

[seven7sin]

for spec1 dun have fuel tap..for other ver..i am not sure..

[merz65]

yes..just unplug everything.. 1 big n small fuel line.. 2 pipe for those overflow stuffs ... 1 meter connection.. e tanks works on vacuum so dun worry ur petrol will spill out. at least onli a bit..

[Guest chrischow]

OK so i have to unplug the fuel line first right ?

assumptions....

no need to say which first which last.. just all will do... no diff..

One more question.

The paint work at the bottom edges of the tank tend to peel off which i suspect is due to rain?

I've seen ppl using a strip to attach onto the edge of the tank, but i dun think is useful as it's shape will warp after some time .

Guys, any one know what i toking about?

How to prevent the pain from peeling off?

How to Remove S4 Tank !

[raven77]

like someone expect to enlighten me on what to take note when removing the oil tank from the bike. there 2 oil tube and a oil meter cable and any thing else??

[-HANZ-]

total 4 tubes and 1 cable...

[Philip]

total 4 tubes:

1. petrol tube(tank to carb)

2. vaccum tube(engine to tank)

3. tank breather tube(around ur groin area at the tank)

4. tank petrol overflow tube(around ur groin area at the tank)

5. Electrical Wire sensors from ur tank to ur engine(fuel meter)

 

Rembr not to let the tubes(3&4) bend when u install coz it will affect the breathing abilities of ur fuel tank creating unwanted pressures within.

[it wasnt me]

dont try to weld the tank

i take note of that..

What level should the fuel be so that removing the petrol tube will not cause petrol to flow out of the tank? Or is there something that can be done to prevent this?

 

Never removed fuel tank before but want to... thanks.

actual even it is full u can take out the tank ..but it will be heavy

 

i took out before , best is the lesser the better is light . easy to lift up.

Thanks hellcannon. I got a small dent in my fuel tank. I'm wondering if it is possible to get behind it and knock it out with a hammer. Otherwise will take it to a dent removal service. Found one for cars that charges $35 for first dent.

Hi, i've jus bought a VTEC1 abt 2 weeks back la.. Blue FR plate..

 

I just dismantaled the tank and the air filter a while ago and the next day the bike won start in the evein.. morning ok la..

 

dunnoe wats the problem.. tot my rectifier or electric start fry liao la..

 

cos i electric start the crank still have but the bike won engage.

 

 

So any way i park the bike over night and the next morning it started fine.. this happened twice and i got pissed..

 

So i took the bike to the shop and check la..

 

Apparantly the pressure relieve pipe at the bottom got choke (located near the back end of the tank, close to where you seat got 2 tubes la and one tube at the fuel outle there)

 

think wat happen is, when i installing back the tank, pulled the pipes out too much,

then plug in the pipe and put back the tank, the tank squash the pipes and resulted in pressure built up in the tank. then the petrol cannot flow properly.

 

Result is cannot start lor..

 

Bike reacts like its running out of petrol initially. then engine dies.

 

 

Jus something to feedback to you guys. Ü

 

Cheers

 

Albert

Personally i dun really fix back those two tubes after removing the tank. Dun feel any diff without the tubes. No fear of the tubes being choked anyway.

think the tubes u toking are the overflow tubes for fuel cap & keyhole lah..

 

must put back, if not rain, water go in card leh....

 

 

as for albert, guess tats an air lock before the fuel pump ????? tis seldom happen lah...

 

:cheer:

[ivant]

Bigger tube is for fuelcap water drainage, smaller one is the fuel tank breather.....

 

If you decide not to connect, next time when you remove tank, see wats below the outlet where the big tube suppose to be.......
