[Public-List] gas tank

[Elaine & Brian Timmins]

When I first bought my ex #497, I had to replace the under cockpit tank due 
to a leak. I don't remember all of the details, but I was able to remove the 
old, and install the new one over the top of the Atomic 4. The exhaust had 
to be removed and the spark plugs taken out (holes covered) along with 
moving - removing a few other obstacles. It was not impossible to do.
Regards,
Brian
ex#497
