How To's Topic: Gas ank removal

[Suzuki_Girl_41]

Do you have a topic concerning the removal of the gas tank?

I thought I saw it the other day, but when I tried to find it last night and this morning, I couldn't. The suggestions about spark plug removal (cleaning around the spark plug prior to removal to avoid debris falling in) were/are critical for avoiding a huge, easily avoidable given the proper information beforehand, repair bill.

Thank you for your consideration.

It's also very common for some buildup to occur there. It's not a serious issue unless it's leaking heavily and consistently.

Yes, that's what I meant. When I saw the buildup, I took it to the mechanic, who tightened the head bolts and cleaned the fins. No more buildup for a few thousand miles. Then, when the buildup started again, the mechanic repeated the process, and the fins have been buildup free for quite a while. This appears to show that the buildup is caused by loose head bolts.

Thanks to you both.
