To accommodate the new larger tank, either:
- the access hole needs to be moved, or
- the fuel tank needs to lifted about an inch so the hose can pass underneath.
I'm considering lifting the tank an inch using 1-inch x 4-inch plastic decking material. There appears to be enough height under the seat [to accommodate a raised tank--even this larger tank], and lifting of the tank may allow for the tank to be located an inch or two more forward.
I'm assuming others with a c.2014 Montauk 170 have run into the same problem while installing this 22-gallon tank.
Q1: is a simple solution escaping me?
If so, please reply with advice or comment on my two potential solutions.
