I will answer the question myself. No you dont have to empty it first. Undo all bolts and all pipes then lift the tank off. Then remove the fuel pump over a bucket and catch the fuel when you do that. Very straightforward.
Hi. I'm about to remove my tank for a respray. Will all the fuel in the tank spill out if I dont first empty it or can I empty it after a remove it? There is only a couple of litres of fuel in the tank.
