‘Simple if you know what you’ are doing” You do not pull on the yellow part out on the fuel connector. Yes push in the little clip on it and then PUSH the yellow clip IN and not out. In and it will release with ease. Not need for needles and anything other than a small driver to push the small release clip.

[@daved6569]

Frank, thanks for all the videos. I wanted to give back to you for all the enjoyment you provide. Arizona is awesome, we were in Williams last year and saw the Grand Canyon, so incredible. We want to get out there again soon, maybe we can get a ride in. Thanks again

[@WOODZMAN]

That is awesome! Thanks so much Dave! I’m happy to help! It would be great to get a ride together!

[@AaMabove]

When I ordered my flatland radiator guard I already had the Acerbis tank so when ordering the guard there was an option for the hardware for a Acerbis tank.

[@WOODZMAN]

Ah that is cool, I don’t think I had that option when I got my radiator guards but I wasn’t really planning on the tank at the time.

[@AaMabove]

@WOODZMAN when I was ordering there was a disclaimer somewhere that said if you have the Acerbis tank to let them know in the notes when placing order.

[@TrustworthyExpert]

I bought the tank after watching your review. this is a great video for instruction on how to change it out. they were sold out on crf only, probably because of your video. I picked it up on rocky mountain atv at a cheaper price. I'm in san antonio, I haven't found a good place to ride trails here yet. but since the world is ending I should be able to ride anywhere I want soon enough.

[@TrustworthyExpert]

I installed the tank today. Your video was great. a note on the little C clip on the fuel line. you do pull it out slightly to remove the line but if you pull it all the way out, you can install the line but the C clip won't go back in. the C clip has to be partially in when the line is pushed on , then you can insert the C all the way back in.

[@WOODZMAN]

@TrustworthyExpert awesome, thanks for watchin

[@ashbrooks5581]

[@PeterVred]

Thanks so much for another wonderful installation video, I've missed them! Your attention to details and super helpful little tips that you learned, is the best available, and made all of the Africa Twin and CRF300L upgrades super easy to perform. I've been putting off the Acerbis tank install, mainly due to the gas cap, but now you've got me thinking again. I'll miss your videos when it comes to installing things on my 2024 Transalp. So far I've only mounted Barkbusters VPS, Garmin direct-to-battery power line, and am waiting on Kaoko Cruise control and Outback Motortek crashbar/skid plate set to arrive. You do great work.

[@WOODZMAN]

Wow you are getting the Transalp fixed up! I don’t mind the gas cap. If you’re talking about not having the lock, I guess I have just never worried about anyone ever messing with it. The tank is amazing, I love it

[@PeterVred]

Thanks for the reply Frank! An opportunity to get the Acerbis tank installed for free came up, as I’ve burned up my engine on the CRF300l, by installing an oil filter backwards, then putting 6k miles on it! The engine work is costing $2,500! That hurts. But after my mechanic repairs the engine he’s dropping in the new tank (now $249 at rocky Mt) for free! Be careful installing oil filters!

[@WOODZMAN]

@PeterVred I haven’t done that yet but I have seen it done before, it sucks

[@PeterVred]

@@WOODZMAN Getting OLD sucks...my mind plays tricks on me. I've installed lots of CRF filters, don't know why seeing the "hole" on the filter facing me looked right. BTW, got the old Africa Twin up for sale, to pay the upkeep on the newer bikes. I really want to hang on to it, as it WAS the most amazing bike I ever owned. But I know now that the CRF300L is the most useful bike I have, it comes first.

I find those rides relaxing. Seeing what speeds (in gears) those CRF300's do on various surfaces with those soft, long-travel suspensions is highly instructional - to me. Given all yours and your sons' tire complaints, I'm wondering when you're going to spring for at least 50/50 tires? fyi: Kyle Bradshaw (KZbin's most popular tire-review guy?) proclaims Bridgestone AX41's to be his 'favorites' for BOTH on/off road.@@WOODZMAN

You can buy a locking cap from acerbis separately

[@cecanbasescu]

@@thegreatmoa I've seen the locking cap from acerbis but where do you do with the airvent hose?

[@byronlemay2166]

Nice job. I just bought a 300L and plan to see how the stock tank capacity works for me. I had a Rally that was destroyed and went with the L to replace it because the Rally was a bit too cumbersome off road...I certainly did like the tank capacity with the Rally, though. This is a very simple instal and the panels seem to fit back on nicely. I'll probably end up doing this.

[@WOODZMAN]

Yea it’s an easy install. I am impressed on how it looks.

By far best video on how to do it well done regarding the tricky connector to unplug the service manual suggest to after pressing the white tab to push down instead of pull up in that way the black retainers undo themself

[@WOODZMAN]

Yea and I tried that but it wouldn’t work. It may on some, I just couldn’t get it to.

[@Kelly-oq9nh]

I have had many bikes and after market tanks over the years, and this looks to be the best one I’ve seen. They were smart to send you a tank to do a video because you are so good at it. Great product, great video. Well done Sir.

[@WOODZMAN]

Yea I was impressed on how easy it was to install and how good the fit was. After the install I was really impressed at how it looked. Best I have seen. I installed an IMS tank on my old CRF250L and it wasn’t nearly as nice as the Acerbis

[@joeThompson-ik9lu]

I believe flatland now has updated their brace to work with the tank or you can buy that piece alone.

[@WOODZMAN]

Yea, I just talked to CRFs Only and that is what they said. I have one on the way now! Thanks for the info Joe!

[@dwlee67]

The correct way and easier way to remove the fuel line is to actually push the white tab in and not lift or pull it out. Then when you reconnect the fuel line it simply clips into place. Much easier and no chance for damaging it.

[@WOODZMAN]

Yea I have used that kind and I tried it on this one and it does not push in at all. The white plastic tab is bottomed out and does not push in

[@dwlee67]

You should slide the small part in when you pull off the fuel line. NOT OUT. It is really hard connector and if you pull the little part out it is still hard to get the connector out. Great video but that is the way I learned to use it.

[@TrustworthyExpert]

are you saying the fuel like clip stays out when the fuel line is installed and you push it in to remove the fuel line?

[@J8zzy]

@@TrustworthyExpert I think so. You need to push the yellowgreen slide bit inwards when you take the line off. New line comes with those slides out. You can first put line in and then you slide the yellowgreen in to its own place. The part goes bit more in when you take the line off. It is small and I actually made tool from fork to make it easier to take off. \▪︎/ bended two 90 degrees that goes under it and made middle one shorter and so that it push the slide in. Hard to write in english. Hope you get my point. And I would rather leave the hose to the tank and pull it out from bike. Greetings from Finland... Pois ottaessa liukuosa menee sisäänpäin. Uusi letku tulee liikuosat ulkona. Paikoilleen laitoin uudet liittimet liukuosa ulkona ja sen jälkeen liukuosa omalle paikalleen. Tein haarukasta työkalun irrotukseen kun niin pieni liukuosa. Taitoin ulommat piikit 90 astetta kääntymään liittimen alle ja keskimmäisen piikin lyhempänä niin että sillä saa painettua liukuosaa sisään kun vetää littimen irti. Irtoitan mielummin letkun jatkossa ruiskulta ja jätän letkun kiinni tankkiin. \▪︎/ 😜 Honda haarukka

[@TrustworthyExpert]

because that is completely counterintuitive to all vehicle design. why would having a 'C' clip out be the position to hold it in place? I am going to go out on a limb and say the C needs to be pushed in after installing. I am getting ready to install this very tank on my new crf300L. I will let you know what I think. I am a mech engineer.

[@J8zzy]

@@TrustworthyExpert it goes bit more in when you take it out. When installing you slide it out and then lock it in but not as far in as when you push it to remove it out. Hope I made it clear

[@MotoNiz]

Very nice video. Installed myself last year. Was wondering if you had issue with proper venting of tank hooked to original line? I noticed vapor build up in tank. I just vent to outside which solved. Your content is always great. Thanks!

13min 07s one way valve connecting carbon can with the tank -> is allowing the flow from the carbon can to the tank - which completely doesn't make sense?? It should be opposite - fumes from tank should go to the carbon can?

[@raa8201]

Nice install video. I have a question re capacity and electronics. Since it doesn't register the extra capacity on the fuel gauge, does it register/change the range or mpg's on the odometer end?

[@WOODZMAN]

Oh yea that still is the same, it’s just the top half tank takes a while to drop on the gauge so after you uses about 1.6 gallon then it still shows full witch is like the stock tank capacity

[@thejayman587]

Thanks for the video. Do your front turn signals hit the tank and prevent the bars from making a full turn?

[@WOODZMAN]

Yes they do and I think I can flip the brackets around and move them forward a little to stop it but my signals are the Thailand LED style and are mounted to the triple clamps

[@thejayman587]

Thanks for the response. I have the same lights and took them off because they were preventing the full turn. I have been using the lights in the Zeta hand guards but I prefer the ones on the bike so I’ll have to try flipping the brackets.

Thanks for the great video. Stupid question but at 7:52 the vent is at the bottom of the tank on the original one. On the Acerbis it's obviously at the top (on the cap) How can the vent work at the bottom of the tank? There's always fuel covering it so air can't flow? Or is fuel meant to go through that hose and there's a mini reservoir somewhere with enough space for expansion?

[@uralicdneprov1806]

I find Acerbis 3.6 gal tank a bit ugly, needlessly large and not so neatly built. I really don't like the plastic cap that looks the same as those on cheap plastic fuel cans. The other option is IMS. Better built, better looking, but just too small. 2.5 gallon is too little over stock 2.1 gal. It makes it almost pointless to buy and install. I wish there was a middle way tank option around 3.0 gal that could fit original tank cap. That would do 200 miles / 300km fuel range that is good enough for most places in my part of the world.

[@WOODZMAN]

I had the IMS for n my 250L, the fit of the IMS is not nearly as good as the Acerbis and having to put the metal brackets on the IMS is dumb. I think the look of the Acerbis is great. I would never choose the IMS over the Acerbis again. Of course everyone has their own opinion.
