Valve Check On 2013

[max]

thanks Max for the high res photo's . i also could not get the fuel connector loose and gave up , turning the tank sideways on the frame with rags under it while installing my air horn .
so how does that thing come apart ?

You need a bit of room to get your hands under the tank ( wooden block ), then slide back the black rubber keeper away from the blue clip with the black tab, then you can press on the two "wings" on the blue clip to unlatch the black hose connector and slide the hose straight off the tank.
The electrical connector lives under the left side cover and the overflow hose comes off easyer with needle nose pliers.





here is a closeup of the hose connector with the two slots that lock into the blue connector wedges, the seal is pretty much a clever o ring that pushes on and releases easy but seals under pressure.



here is the blue connector with the rubber keeper in place, it prevents the blue lock from compressing and releasing the hose connector accidentally and poor out fuel under pressure!



so remove black safety lock, press the blue wings and pull the now unlocked hose straight off.

Do i have to stress how important it is to properly replace the black rubber safety and check for leaks?
