I'm planning to whip the fuel tank off my 1000SSie completely for the first time tomorrow.
For those that have done this before on an SSie, do I need to drain the fuel from the tank somehow first?
It's about 1/2 full at the moment.
There are 4 pipes underneath.
2 are joined together and are only the breathers from the top of the tank so not a problem.
1 is obviously the output from the internal pump, and as the top part of the internal hose from the pump sits very high in the tank I'll only lose a small amount of fuel when I pull the pipe off the stub.
But the 4th pipe, the fuel return inlet to the tank appears to sit quite low in the tank, so might just keep flowing when I pull the pipe off the stub.
Don't really want to syphon it out unless I have to.
Thanks
