diesel1 Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 Can the large inspecton hatch and fuel sender be removed with the turn table thing still in place? removal of the curved plate which is bolted on the turn table in front of the fuel inspection hatch may make things a little easier. i intend to clean the fuel tank inside for piece of mind if its not too difficult Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See my post re fuel tank on Scorpion. I did take the seat out though. Just one nut and bolt and the seat pops up off it's spring. I tried to get the seat out of the hatch but it appears to be a very tight fit, so i just put it to one side in the turret... The lower bolts on the access panel are tricky to get at, but do-able. I ran a die over all the stud threads before undoing them to get the paint off, so avoid the studs coming out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does the fuel sender need taking out first then the big plate or can the big plate come out in 1 lump with everything on it? Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
