5. On most models, the fuel tank is mounted at 3
points with capscrews and locknuts on two of the
points, the third point is a pin on the chassis that
goes through a rubber grommet (Figure 53) on the
bottom of the tank. CCR1000’s use a tongue and
groove system and one (Figure 54) mounting
screw. Remove them and lift the tank out. Now
disconnect the fuel line. Caution: If the tank had
fuel in it, there will be some remaining in the fuel
line. Be prepared to clamp the end of the fuel line
or drain it. Note: Do not use a screw or bolt to
plug the end of the fuel line. The threads can
damage the inside of the fuel line and prevent it
from sealing.

pulled through the control panel. (A slip knot is
recommended, it can be untied, at any time, by
merely pulling on the rope.)

wish to loosen the bracket at the other end to pivot
it away from the engine.
