OK so no good deed goes unpunished and a friend has a 2002 XLT 1200 LTD waverunner - been stood a while and the fuel is crappy - carbs have been stripped and rebuilt so I figured good to pull the tank and flush it properly....
Motor still in place but the front hatch is big and access is good....(Or is it?)
Straps came off easy, as did filler hose and fuel sender and was able to syphon out most the old gas - lovely deep yellow color
(Joke was that the last time he saw a liquid that color, they had to shoot the Horse)
Now the tank looks about the same width as the front hatch but whatever I do I cant get the thing out seems about 1/4 inch too big whichever way I turn it - spun it sideways, same thing.
I can't believe they would make a tank too big to remove that way and the only option is to rip off the exhaust, driveshaft etc. and pull the engine to get the tank out.
Is there something I'm missing
