Simple procedure--Remove gas cap and then remove 3 small phillips head
screws. Behind the sheet metal is the filler tube and a small plastic
overflow tube. Remove this small tube from filler tube and then with tongue
in proper position wiggle, push, pull and twist and filler tube will
surrender. There is a rubber seal in upper side of tank that filler neck
fits into. Not difficult.
