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.

recommended, it can be untied, at any time, by

merely pulling on the rope.)
