Having just had some underbody paint delivered I decided to pop it off and give it a clean up and paint. All the bolts freed up lovely but as I undid the last couple of bolts and it started dropping I noticed (I think) the fuel tank coming with it so immediately bolted back up. Is this right? I would have thought the tank would be separately supported and the protection plate able to come
Off to allow access.
Hi Kev
this was me exactly. I ended up doing it on my back - just in time (10 years and 115,000 miles). Get a Covid face shield and a mouth mask with a valve and its not too bad. Hammerite rust treatment followed by Hammerite smooth black.
This is Vera removing your tank if you want if off. Matron.
