I have a 2LT equipped Bundera, and tried to remove the fuel tank. I undid the two holding straps underneath but it still wont budge. Is there anything else I cant see that needs to be undone? Pulled back my carpet and couldnt see any bolts under there.
Cheers |

How bout the filler hose ,you didnt mention it lol.Is it the same as a 73 behind the rear axle and is it firm or do you have some movement?
Looked in my 60/70 series manual and it makes no mention of any bolts.According to the manual once the straps are undone it should come out. |

Yeah I know about the hose  , I havent undone it yet but the tank is absolutely stuck in there. I could get violent with it but i thought it would be best to check on here first so I dont break anything. |

Someone on here must be able to tell me. Does anyone have a Gregorys manual to tell you how to remove the tank so I can confirm with what rosco has said. Please speak up people |

Thanks Rosco, will hammer a couple of wooden wedges between it and the floorpan to try and free it up.
dumbdunce: Im removing it to make sure I drain it properly as im conerting to petrol, also im going to have a look at the supply/return lines and pickup as I probably need to put bigger lines in. The supply line is suitable for a return diameter wise, but the return line diameter is absolutely tiny. My efi pump is 200L @ 5 bar Bosch 044, my surge tank pump is around 100L @ 4psi. |
