yes, undo the cap and remove the 3 bolts in a traignle pattern.. most of them are dummys.

you can rinse the new tank out if it looks dirty inside.. if re-using old fuel make sure that it isnt contaminated from any rust / shit in the old tank as you'll just be transferrign it from one tank to the other.

best drain old tank into a bucket first so you can see the fuel before you use it as a cleaner.

Thanks for reply I had a look on the underside of my tank on the bike today it looks like two taps underneath go in the tank ? One each side with two bolts I looked on CSM it only shows the one on the left side underneath goes Into the tank so the right underside of the tank tap side what is it and does it just bolt onto the tank not go into the tank just can't work out if only one hole in the underside or two I ordered one new O Ring hope you know what I'm on about guys
