Can anyone tell me how to remove the fuel tank in my H. Need to get the rust out.

The fuel tank will flush pretty well by just removing the sediment bowl and fuel lines then letting gas run through the tank. I did this a couple of months ago on my Super H and it worked well. I used a piece of wire to break some of the chunks loose from the bottom of the tank. Required equipment: 2 gas cans, funnel and hose, cheese cloth to strain the dirty gas. Without the sediment bowl the gas will drain fast and take most of the crud out with it. I also used low pressure air and blew out the tank and fuel lines before reconnecting the sediment bowl and lines back up.

Remove muffler and the top cap or jar deal (whichever you have) off the air breather. Remove the hood. Disconnect the fuel line from the sediment bowl underneath the tank. Then do as Nebraska Cowman says and remove those nuts and springs and so on. Its been awhile since I've had one off, but I think there is room to get it off without removing the steering shaft. Also remember when you put it back together, I think there is some rubber washer spacer deals inbetween the tank and where it mounts. Make sure those are put back on or it will mess up the height of the tank for the hood. Also, I think originally there was a strip of cloth or webbing or something inbetween the tank and hood.

it just unbolts. See those 3 springs under the tank? Take the cotterkey out of the castle nut and soak down with penetrating oil. sometimes the stud will unscrew out of the tank. that is OK. sometimes the stud will twist off. That is a minor setback. Good luck.
