  • Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

Removing gas tank - Te310

This has been covered before, but apparently not well enough for me.

There are two white tabs you have to push in to release the fuel line that shouldn't exist (not connected to pet clocks). Anyways, due to the stupid Italian design, the connector is angled such that only a 6yr olds fingers could reach that upside tab.

How the heck do you press on both? Is there a special tool?
 
Just press on both sides of the connector that attaches to the brass fitting on the fuel rail and wiggle it back. It gets easier the more you do it. If you have not instead a ZipTy aluminum tank elbow, do it.
 
I used some channel locks, taking care on placement.

Left side approach worked. I couldn't not do it by hand - couldn't press in high side.

But it's off now. Brass fitting will go on during reinstall.
 
If it won't start after you get it back together, likely the connector is not snapped in place and it is sucking air.
 
Drove me absolutely nuts trying to figure out why it wouldn't restart. Thought I'd pass it along to save you my frustration.
 
Any tips on removing the air box breather hose? That's the strangest clamp I've ever seen.

A mechanic friend said the clamps on the air box are not reusable. I guess I'll get some
Std screw clamps.

Nice how the workshop manual simply says remove breather hose.

Remove the fuel line from the throttle body, leave it on the tank.........

That's the way I do it.
Then remove the pipe from the tank and replace it on the throttle body.
For some reason I can get the tank end ON easier and the throttle body end OFF easier.
Maybe it's just me!

Is the throttle body pipe metal or plastic? Have had the tank off a few times removing rear fitting w/zt metal elbow, but hesitated to use much effort on the tb fitting if was also plastic.

Throttle body fitting is brass. Factory tank fitting was plastic on my '12 TE310. I replaced it with the ZipTy aluminum elbow.
 
Like mentioned above, make sure the fuel line connector is pushed all the way on and you hear it click in. Is the fuel pump priming? Is the fuel pump connector reattached?
 
Glad you got it sorted easily.:applause: It sounds like you got distracted by the PIA fuel line and forgot everything else. It happens, easy fix.
