Subject:reinstalling gas tank
From:Florian Speier

Hi all,

just dropped the gas tank and put the reseal kit in, and while there,
exchanged the long radiator and heater lines. put it back together again,
but really have the following problem:

I installed the grommets in the tank, the crossover tube to the chassis,
mounted up the tank, then pushed the crossover pipe connectors through the
grommets. this was really hard, i was reaching in through the side wheelwell
over the frame. I got those two in, but the third one, the overflow from the
filler tube, I cannot push in as it is not a t piece and therefore harder to
push in at this angle (harder to get a grip.)
any trick and tip what to do here? is it easier to put the grommet on the
line and then push the grommet in with the line? any tools of help?
thanks
