A: The first step in fuel tank disassembly requires removal of the fuel tank main tube from two components which include the fuel tube clamp and tank suction tube support. Before proceeding remove the fuel tank vent hose first by releasing the hose clamp then pinching the tab of the retainer to unlock the lock claws followed by pulling the hose out of the pipe while inspecting for dirt or foreign objects on the hose connector before avoiding any damage to parts. All work should be performed by hand while avoiding any bending, twisting or turning motions of the nylon tube. To protect the disconnected fuel tank vent hose parts wrap them with a plastic bag while performing a gentle push-and-pull technique on fixed hose connector and pipe connections. The fuel tank protector plate can be removed by disconnecting the wire harness clamp first since this step requires two claw fittings to separate and separate the floor wire from the three wire harness clamps. The first task involves removing the tank suction tube support by separating clip fittings followed by separating the two fittings for removing the No. 3 fuel tube clamp. Finish the clamp removal of No. 4 fuel tube with a bolt before fully extracting the ten fuel tank cushions from the tank.
