Folks,

I want to check my (Manta A) fuel tank for crud.

Best way I can see is to remove the plate that the outlet is attached to, it looks like it just comes off with 5 screws.

Don't know if thats the right name for it, but you can see in the picture below.

Is it that simple? Also, what type of gasket/sealeant do I need to use to put it all back together when I'm done to make sure it seals again properly?

Thanks,

F

Yep just the bolts hold it on but after all these years you might need to give it a hand to let go.

Make sure the bolts are good and will go again and you will need a new gasket. I've got the gaskets in stock so give us a PM and i'll dig one out for you

Cheers

Andy

Hi Mate,

The plate at the back is called the sender unit, be very carefull with your tank once removed because the slightest little knock can cause a leak.

Good luck, Ray.

Thanks Ray. I was hoping to do this without taking the tank out....is this possible, or am I better taking it out?

I bought a gasket (Thanks Andy) for it, but wondering if I need to use any additional sealer when putting it back together?

Thanks,

F
