[QUOTE="dmsantam, post: 1413885, member: 87733"] Thanks for the replies. I removed all items from the bottom of the tank, because I needed to remove the tank to get good access for the valve clearance adjustment. The fuel definitely comes out the white plastic attachment on the tank. That's the one that had a clip on it, which needed to be "squeezed" in order to release it. That goes to the fuel rail (as somebody mentioned). I believe the tank fitting with the clamped hose return also leaked, but I'm not 100% sure on that. I had removed the clamped hose, to remove the fuel tank. The fuel tank was propped up to remove all of the connections underneath, and did not leak profusely until I set it down flat. This is because it was only 1/4 or less full, so no fuel could get out while it was propped up. When everything is connected up, nothing leaks. cheers [/QUOTE]
