Lifting fuel tank

Not silly no, as this all new to me.  When I last had bikes 15 years ago, I didn't do any maintenance myself, whereas now I do everything. 

There were no tubes (apart from the feed line), which I did think was a bit odd.  Just two pipe ends on the bottom of the tank.  I guess I need to work out what needs finding/replacing.

That will explain the small leakage I had when I tipped the tank back again.  :\


Lesson learnt. I'll take it off properly from now on.
