Fuel line work around needed (SJ)

[Kneale Brownson]

What model is this?  There ain't no straps holding the tank up on Type 44
Quattros.  It's four nuts on studs welded to the body.  You easily can
loosen the four nuts enough to drop the tank a half inch.  I don't
understand why you can't get the lines from the tank to come out without
lowering the tank.  There is only one wire tie type device retaining the
lines at the front passenger side of the tank and a strip of duct tape
holding them near the top of the tank.
