[Tigers] Gas tank question

[Rob Bernardino]

I will actually be going through this exercise next weekend to install a fuel cell. If I recall correctly, I first train the tanks and then loosen all the hose clamps. I was able to slide the large rubber hoses inwards over the cross-over tube. Then the cross over and these rubber hoses come out making room for the curved tubes next. Finally the tanks come out.

Let me know if this makes sense.
