Part 1
Okay, I know this has been round the block a few times but as I still get quite a few e-mail's and PM's about the subject I thought I'd better have a go at doing a bit of a foto session.
KEEP IN MIND THAT THIS IS BEING DONE ON THE METAL TANK OF AN F4 PRE-2010, BRUTALE HAS A PLASTIC TANK AND SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT FUEL PUMP O-RING CONFIGURATION, SO ONLY USE THE INFO AS APPLICABLE TO YOUR BIKE.
Question 1. How do I go about
a. Replacing the plastic fuel fittings with the metal fittings if my fuel lines are also damaged etc. (You should replace those plastic fuel fittings regardless)
b. How do you replace the plastic fittings on the fuel pump plate with metal one's - only if you want - I wanted to and you should too.
Question 2. How do I prevent the big o-ring from getting cut every time I remove and re-install my fuel pump.
Question 3. How do you get by struggling with those short fuel lines in the tank.
4. Where can I buy these fuel fittings. Look below or towards forum sponsors.
I will take photo's and add them as I go along, I have the tank and everything spare, so if there are any bit's you would like to see, then ask and I will take more pic's and post them as we go along.
The reason for this is, my fuel fittings never broke, but the first time I took my tank off after a really small 80kph low-side, I saw those fittings and they scared me, then I had to take the tank apart as one of the fuel lines popped in the tank and upon re-assembly I pinched the big o-ring. So here goes.
Please feel free to ask questions or add comments or opinions, this is after all were we are supposed to learn things, I did, and still do.
Add a bit of common sence to my findings and read the manual before attempting any work on your bike, please.
Included in the bottom picture is some purchase info shared by "varium", just remember that you don't HAVE to replace the fuel tank fittings as they never give problems.
