Tips for reinstalling the Trail Tank. The tanks do expand when you put fuel in them. They can be manipulated for a easier installation.
1. The two rear bolts that hold the square steering gate frame to the side plates on the chassis can be loosened and when loosened lift the steering post up as high as the original holes will allow you to (it may help to loosen the two front bolts that hold the steering gate as well, these are all 12mm wrenches, simply loosen them and pry the frame up as high as you can get it and then retighten them.)
2. With the tank empty close the vent off and put the shop vac onto the fuel filler neck and suck the tank in some.
3. The two slots that the tunnel studs go up into sometimes are a little on the tight side for getting the flanged nut started. Sometimes if you take a small dremel or die grinding bit you can open the area up slightly and it will be alot easier to get the nuts started (I'm not talking the actual slots where the studs go through, but rather the area where the nut fits down into when tightened down).
