Fuel tank weight?

Post by nicktheviking »

Anyone know the dry weight of the fuel tank in the FI spider? In other words, will I be able to lift it out by myself, or will I need another set of hands?

Empty, it weighs about 5 - 10 lbs. Full, add about 65 lbs. Weight is not much of a factor, but it may be stuck down with some sealer, so when you take the fasteners out, you may have to pry something under the edges to break loose the sealer.

I pulled the one out of a 72 recently with no difficulty. An FI shouldn't be much different.
