  • 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!

2014 Husky TXC310

I have found that the easiest way is to remove the tank by removing the throttle body side fuel hose And leaving the hose connectes to the tank. Then when its time to put the tank back on, remove the hose from the tank and install it on the throttle body feeding it inplace and near where the tank elbow will be. As you lower the tank inplace, push the line on to the tank elbow. This is by far the easiest way i have found.

PS try undoing the QD at the fuel rail and leave the hose hanging off the tank, thats way the factory race team mechs always did it. I started doing it that way after seeing the CH Racing Team mechs do it that way, it's easier that fiddle ffing around between the tank and frame to release the QD at the elbow. (Metal elbow or not), Both my 310s had ZipTy elbows for bullet proofing anyway.

This is the way I did it anyway, hence I thought it was about the plastic elbow on the throttle body.

I noticed the connector for the hose is the same on both ends. I may try it that way. I stick a small wooden block under the back of the tank to free up my hands and made up a tool from an old pair of needle nose pliers. It works OK but, not great.
