Elbow connection under 1200 Sport gas tank: need advice
« on: December 30, 2015, 09:05:10 PM »
I've got the gas tank up and the other connections are off. I can't seem to make that elbow and fuel line disconnect with the gray collar.  I've been trying for over an hour can't get it to come off. Even watch the YouTube video it look so easy. Any advice?

Run the starter, for several seconds, with the electrical leads disconnected. That might reduce the pressure in the fuel line.

Good Luck :thumb:
p.s. buy a quick disconnect :grin:
