cn90 is on a distinguished road
Part II...

11. Since andrewwynn said you need to apply a zip tie as shown to prevent movement,
I did the same thing as advised, although I doubt it makes a difference.
Anyway, a zip tie does NOT hurt.









12. During re-assembly note:
a. Oil the Plastic Flange, Seal so it slides well.
b. New small clamp for the return hose (place the metal lock ring in place first!).
c. When you tighten the Metal Lock Ring properly, the factory glue will line up.
Better: mark with sharpie from the beginning, this way you know where things should line up.
d. Don't forget the connector!
e. If you drop any debris, leaves etc. remove them from the fuel tank.

BEST is to vacuum the Lid are BEFORE opening the Lid!


13. Replace the metal cover, big grommet rubber seal (above metal cover), then rear seat bottom.
- Make sure you pull the all 3 seatbelt buckles through.






14. Now test drive with about 1/2 tank and use "Test #6" to see when it drops below 32L.
- Make sure the RIGHT tank always have anywhere between 2L-5L.
- Note that when fuel is below 30L or so, during right/left turns or deceleration/acceleration, the fuel level on the RIGHT side will vary widely,
but during cruise, they remain stable.

That is all boys and girls. Hopefully you don't get stranded with the improved O-ring...
