how to remove the fuel tank on Indian Scout bobber

[@Itchy2much]

Great instruction, really detailed and made my life easy, but music was distracting, but still loved the video thank you so much

[@WarPaintCustom]

@Itchy2much thank you for watching. Glad the video help and I apologize about the music.

[@philipperisse916]

Thank you from France for your help ! My english lessons are very far but it was OK to work on my wife's Indian !

[@WarPaintCustom]

Awesome. I'm glad my video was helpful to you

[@jasonm9264]

Lol, I totally thought when you grabbed that drill that it was corded. I was like where’d he find that antique. Then realized it was just your mic cord in your pocket. Thanks for the video.

[@WarPaintCustom]

🤣🤣🤣 thats funny dude. Thanks for watching hope it helped.

[@McNinja243]

Thanks for the video man, wanted to make sure I did some research before removing the tank off my Octane.

[@WarPaintCustom]

No problem. Hope this helped and thanks for watching.

[@Jimbobbington]

Nice dude, excited to see what the finished paint job looks like!

[@WarPaintCustom]

Thanks dude. Yeah should be starting on it today.

[@110dogue]

Great video, just what I was looking for. Only criticism is the music drowns you out at times.

[@WarPaintCustom]

Thanks for watching glad it could help. Thanks yeah I apologize for that issue with the music.

[@BigSmittyRiding]

I hate pulling the tank in any bike but you did a good job on the how too!

[@WarPaintCustom]

Thanks. Yeah these are super easy at least this time I waited till it was almost empty 🤣

[@brewermoe883]

uuggg!! Great video, so smooth and slick getting that tank apart and off!! I am not sure if maybe my bolts are a tad longer but as I delicately "fan-angled" the tank free (meaning I was much slower and cautious then how you did it) I dragged/scratched the inside of the tank on the right side on those bolts under the speedo !! Not much space there, @5:39 you see the two nuts above the rubber mount? 😭 Board trick was brilliant, obvious, yet brilliant! lol That rubber filler piece, that was a test of patience going back in! 😠 I opened the gas cap to let the pressure out before any disconnecting, was that actually necessary?

[@WarPaintCustom]

Thanks dude You don't really have to open the cap . If it's been sitting long enough the pressure should have stabilized to the atmosphere. Thanks for watching I appreciate the support 🤘🏻

[@sprinklestexas9573]

Okay this is perfect. I need to go ride tomorrow and drain my tank so I can change my lights out!

[@WarPaintCustom]

You can actually pull the tank with out draining it and very little fuel will be lost. Don't ask me how I know because I seem to always pull it after I fill up 🤣 it does make it easier when empty though.

[@sprinklestexas9573]

@@WarPaintCustom lol. It’s about half full right now. I was just thinking it would be easier for me by myself if it was lighter 🤣

[@WarPaintCustom]

@@sprinklestexas9573 gotcha.

[@RickyBobber]

Thanks man. Vid came in handy today

[@WarPaintCustom]

Glad to hear it was useful. Thanks for watching

[@hrobertb]

cool shirt, cool bike, cool paint job.

[@WarPaintCustom]

Thank you.

[@ryker4124]

It's easier to unplug the fuel line under the tank with the right pliers made for it.

[@WarPaintCustom]

@ryker4124 thanks you said the keyword. "Right tools" this way for me was pretty easy. I disassemble vehicles for paint for a living and sometimes the "right " tools is easier some times we find ways thats easier for us

[@Nolan.Gurule]

What would happen if those bolts get taken out and the frame slides up making it uneven to get the bolts back in? 5:30 by your hands

[@WarPaintCustom]

If you have a jack, use it to keep the frame from moving that way, the bolts will line up when going back in. You have to remove those bolts when changing out the stock air intake. I may have shown that when I replaced it with an S&S intake.

[@truckinbiker]

Can't wait to see it finished man.

[@LenOsoba]

Does the gasoline not flow out as soon as I disconnect it? (4:04)

[@WarPaintCustom]

No. You will lose a little bit but the check valve in the pump will prevent it from flowing out of the tank.

[@letramuda8273]

hi man i see you know a little of mechanics and wanted to see if you could help me, I had an accident a few weeks ago and im trying to repair the byke right now, but one of the parts that broke was the clamp that holds the front suspension right under the the speedometer and I just don´t know how to replace it or if its safe for me to do it

[@WarPaintCustom]

Hey hit me up on Instagram send me a dm with a picture and I will see if I can help you out

[@pink50cent]

removing that fuel line was the hardest thing

[@WarPaintCustom]

Yeah. And that wasn't even that terrible.

[@602North]

Good job, can’t wait to see the finished product! -RJ

[@WarPaintCustom]

Thanks. The tank is painted and masked off. Tomorrow I will get started on the airbrushing and filming.

[@AndrzejMikrut-y2n]

👍

[@truckinbiker]

Man dude Indian does make that shit easy to get to.

[@WarPaintCustom]

Yeah super simple

[@truckinbiker]

I always forget at least one plug or something when pulling a tank

[@harleydave]

The music spoils an otherwise good tutorial.

[@WarPaintCustom]

Thanks for the feedback back. This was an error on my part not listening after editing . Lesson learned.

[@stephencummins7589]

Half inch is 12.7 mm not 13 mm very poor mechanic

[@WarPaintCustom]

Half inch wrench and 13mm fit the same bolt head. Thanks for watching.

[@clintmoreau7609]

WHY THE AGGREVATING NOISE !

[@WarPaintCustom]

If you mean the music? Yeah was aittle on the loud side.

[@RmfDiz]

Cool vid...question though....did indian mis standard and metric hardware on this bike? Lol. I've seen people listing metric socket sizes in some vids. And my exhaust hardware was definitely metric. Just a weird choice if they did.

[@WarPaintCustom]

Well some metrics sizes and standard sizes are almost equal. Like 13mm and 1/2 inch. They do seem to have a lot of metric sizes. I worked in import dealers as a tech for many years, so I have pretty much all metric wrenches.

[@RmfDiz]

@@WarPaintCustom in my experience yes, that works sometimes, but you better be careful on a tight bolt...lol. I have both standard and metric, and honestly would just prefer everything be metric when it comes to hardware....but a bolts a bolt at the end of the day. As long as it's holding everything together like it should haha
