To get the old one out is a real fiddle, everything seems to hit everything else.

I took the panel off under the drivers seat to access the top pf the tank and unscrewed the return outlet and senser.
I'd never seen a sensor before .... It's held in with a ring that you need to rotate 90 degrees.
I used a socket and cut some notches to grab the little tangs ....

There are two bolts holding the rear of the tank to the outrigger and 1 (special shoulder bolt) with rubber washers at the front.
The front bracket is bolted to the front outrigger with 3 M8 bolts.
They need spindly long fingers and 3 13mm spanners to get them off. Which you need to do to get the tank out.

Here's my new front bracket loosly fitted ... i've sprayed some Lanoguard around too.
