I am changing the tank on my 2000 harley softail and need some details on how to remove the fuel injector from the old tank.Removing the fuel injector on a 2000 softail?
You would be hard pressed to find a fuel injector in or on the fuel tank. If you mean the fuel line, its a slip collar and works like a air hose connector: slide up the collar, pull the nipple out. The crossover tube, unless it has a custom hose has two one-time use clamps that require cutting off with a set of diagonal side cutters. The wire loom is under the center....Removing the fuel injector on a 2000 softail?
Just like the doc says the fuel pump stuff in the tank has to be changed too unless the new tank has it all, but if it all has to be changed over it would be smart to make sure the screen and o-rings are up to par 'cause pulling it it all back down again is gonna suck if there's any internal integrity problems. There's a fuel tank service-pak I think is available (doc??) if it is, get it.
Nice going PB on leaving out the electrical safety info.Removing the fuel injector on a 2000 softail?
Like Polarbear said, no injectors in or on the tank. It does have the fuel lines you have to remove as per his directions. But you also have the fuel pump assembly INSIDE the tank, the removal process for this is too long to explain here.....you seriously need to buy a FACTORY service manual or have a shop do the job for you. If you do decide to do the job youself, this is a MUST.....DISCONNECT THE BATTERY!!!....when dealing with the fuel pump, it's electrical inside a gas tank, you don't want any sparks....so be careful.
