    Coz I'm used to old school carbs and petrol taps.
    How do you get the tank safely disconnected.
    I have undone all bolts and elactrical connections was just wondering how you get the fuel pipe off, I'm pressuming the lack of tap means that the pump prevents it pissing out. Wood burner is switched off;)

    Get a towel down there to catch any leaks
    Remove the black shroud this will expose the quick release connector
    Press the tabs in on the green Quick release ( one end side) and pull!

    The connector has a valve so should not leak out too much fuel

    hope this helps

    yeah the black shroud tricked me and the green tabs were a PITA to push in.

    I didnt bother to refit the black shroud (forgot it !)
