Changing gray fuel lines. Ran into problem.

[Hawker800]

Noticed the green jelly in my gray fuel lines. 96 gsx. Replacing all. U strapped empty fuel tank to get fuel probe out. Just not enough vertical space. Almost but won't come out. Is there a trick to it or do guys just swap out line with it still in tank ? Tnx

O.K., sounds familiar, try releasing the rubber straps on the fuel tank and trying sliding the fuel tank forward, you may also need to loosen the steering assembly raise it up about 1", use a block of wood to hold it there, then try sliding the fuel tank.

The GSX is a bitch. Sorry. If all you are doing is replacing the hoses, then you do not have to pull the baffle. But to get the baffle out, you need to pull the tank forward. Read this thread and you should find all you need. http://www.seadooforum.com/showthread.php?74492-Fuel-gauge&highlight=gsx+fuel+baffle

On the gsx u need to empty gas tank, unstrap it, slide it forward and then unbolt the steering and lay it to the side. The baffle now pulls out of the hole.
