OK, so I have the service manual (just have not looked at it YET!)... Chuck is doing some paint for me on a spare tank that I got for my E Glide Standard EFI. At some point in time, paint will be done and I will want to swap tanks on the BIKE...... any helpful hints on how to make this happen smoothly??? I have never taken a tank off....don't know what is involved (inside or outside the tank.....) so any forthought would be helpful!!! otherwise, will take it to someone to have THEM do it...for a fee of course. (would be less happy with that, but.....)... any help would be appriciated, before the flash/bang of exploding gas fumes!!   |

| AFN just drain the gas ( you never get it all out ) thak seat off , open up gas door there's two screws in there , this will loosen the dash, pull it off , there a bolt at the rear of tank (seat off) & two bolt's up front one on eather side , There's also a cross over tube up front under tank , just pull the right side loose , it's not hard at all YOU CAN DO IT  | |

| well, that is encouraging!! just have to wait for the paint to dry..... course, My guess is that Chuck will need to do a bit of prep work before shooting ANY paint!!! He is guessing 4-6 weeks, so I have a bit of time! | |

| EFI fuel connectors are slip fit, just push the outside fitting down I think and it will pull out, be careful there is an o-ring in there if you crack or break it, it's a pia to fix. | |
