[Public-list] diesel engine

[Mike Lehman]

If you have an Atomic 4 with the tank installed under the cockpit sole, you 
can remove the tank without removing the engine. It means removing the wood 
planel where the battery switch and switch panel is located. It means 
removing the standpipe muffler, if you have one. You should also remove or 
break off the spark plugs, since you don't what them poking into your chest. 
Then you cut the strap and hoses and you grab ahold of the tank and pull and 
wiggle side-to-side to break the glass at the rear of the tank and pull it 
out over top the engine. It can be done in or out of the water. When I did 
mine this way, I did not empty the tank, it was half full. It made the job 
more difficult and [probably] more dangerous to remove the tank with fuel in 
it, but I was in a hurry, so I took the risk.

I had the engine out for an overhaul by Moyer Marine, so I used the 
opportunity to replace the tank. I've heard that the tank can be removed 
with the engine in place, but I can't confirm that.
