PROCEDURE 1. Loosen the clamps 5 (see fig. Fuel System Components) and disconnect hoses 11, 13 and 16 from the tank. 2. Unscrew the screws securing the tank to bracket 15 and remove tank 12. On engines with a displacement of 1.3 L, the fuel tank is mounted on the carburetor, so it may be easier to unscrew the bracket mounting screws and remove tank 12 together with bracket 15. 3. Install the fuel tank in the reverse order.
