Firstly before removing the tank, you can check the fuel cap. To do this check the internal seal for any wear or tear. You may also want to drain the tank before you change or remove it. To do this you will have to unscrew the hexagon nut underneath the tank with a spanner. Let the diesel drain into a suitable container. To free the top of the tank, you will need to use a Hex Socket Spanner to remove the two nuts, spring washers, bracket, metal washers and the rubber washers. To release the bottom of the tank, use a Hex Socket Spanner to unfasten the two screws, then remove the washers from either side, follo wed by the bush located at the back of the tank bracket. Before freeing the tank, you will need to release the fuel hose. To stop any spillages, place long nose locking pliers over the fuel hose. (Tip: place a drip tray underneath to catch any spillages). Prise the hose slowly from the fuel filter with pliers. Then at the back of the tank remove the other hose. The tank can now be removed from the engine.
