- In this video I will show you how to remove the fuel tank of our motorcycle.
You need a 10 mm spanner or socket set, a soft rag, a block of wood.
this is simple process, after removing the bolt do not lift the tank too much.
Under the tank we need to disconnect the following:-
1 Fuel pump connector,
2 Drain hose,
3 Evap hose,
4 Fuel gauge connector,
5 Main fuel line.
Tank removal is needed in the following cases:-
1 while routing the electricals cables along with frame for some electrical accessories. 2 while cleaning the underside of tank.
3 while accessing the fuel gauge and fuel pump.
4 changing the inline fuel filter.
5 working on the throttle body.
6 working in valve adjustments.
7 checking for fuel leak from the fuel line.
8 cleaning the evap hose.
9 cleaning rain water drain passage.
10 working on wiring fo the motorcycle.
11 Buffing the Engine head casing.
and there would be few other work which requires tank removal.

Sir, Will there be a problem if I replace Dr. Mayhem fuel tank with Mister clean (Continental GT 650) ?
@@ampuia7 no problems at all use any shade, u need to get new one updated in your registration papers if there is a mention of shade or colour to avoid challan .
@@ijs_diy Thank you very much. And also to mention that your videos are informative, easy to understand and applicable. Keep going Sir.
@@ampuia7 thanks
Hello sir kya interceptor mein GT tank lag sakta hai kya
Great easy to understand and clear video. I was able to remove tank in under 10 minutes. Thank you!
❤️❤️
Thanks! I wasn’t sure how to disconnect the main fuel line with the black buttons.
❤️❤️❤️
Very well made video showing exactly what I wanted to see, this takes away a lot of the apprehension I had about being able to remove the tank to adjust the tappets. Thank you very much!
Thanks ❤️
This is the most simplified video of removing the tank for Intercepter650. Very well explained. Keep up with the good work.
Thanks 😊
thank you for this video in english. great help!
❤️❤️
Thank you. I needed to figure this out for the 300 mile service.
Thanks
good video, clear and understanding. Thank you
❤️❤️
I noticed you laid the tank on it's side to show the under bits and bobs. Just a huge word of caution to those who own Baker Express model. Any leak of fuel onto the paint work will leave yellow stains which is a whole another story to remove. So it makes a difference how you lay down the tank.
You have raised a valid point. But,
If the oring or tank cap gasket is fine then it wont leak from the cap as it is airtight and the bottom pipe would also not leak unless the pump is primmed or opened , also i kept it on the rubber mat.
Excellent explanation of all the connections and how to disassemble. This will be a great help when I come to do my valve clearances. Thanks for posting.
Thanks ♥️
That was excellent! Thank you!
❤️❤️
Thank you for putting the effort in to make this video, it’s given me more confidence to do the valve adjustment myself.
Thanks 😊
Thank you very helpful
Thanks
effortlessly explained. I was searching for such videos. Thanks to you!
Thanks 😊
That was a great video. My biggest concern was removing the gas tank and thanks to you I it did no problem. Next adjust the valves
Thanks 😊 would try for the valves soon.
Thank you, clear guide with good camera work.
Thanks 😊

Bohot badhiya inder paaji ... Good going keep it up 👍🏻
Thanks 😊
Excelent video.
Thanks ❤️
Thanks for taking the time to create this video, which will surely be a great help to 650 owners for many years to come. It earned a "Thumb's Up" from me, even though I don't own a 650 (yet). I am still thumping around here in the USA on an old Iron Barrel Bullet 500. Perhaps I should tell you that your video has also been praised and discussed on the "Unofficial Royal Enfield Community Forum" at forum.classicmotorworks.com/index.php?topic=29148.0. So, once again, well done! I'm going to check out your other offerings now.
Thanks for appreciation sir☺️
Those are really appreciative comments on your forum.
Thanks again.
Very informative video paaji..
Thanks 😊
thank you for the tutorial
Thanks ❤️
Thank you !!! Very good !!!
Thanks ❤️
Good vid. Thanx
Thanks ❤️
Thanks bud!
Thanks ❤️
Super👍Bro
Thanks 😊
Brilliant work. Thanks! Really clear, idiot-proof explanation. I'll be using this when I need to take the tank off.
Looking forward to your video on the valve clearances... there's still no definitive guide out there.
Oh, and be nice to the squirrels!
Thanks 😊
The squirrels are all happy bunch.
This is one of the best detailed videos I've seen so far on tappet setting. (I'd watch it on mute though!)

Thanks for this, I've got a Super Meteor so hoping its pretty similar (feel free to make a video showing how! 😁👍)
Thanks.
For now i don't have access to super meteor.
@@ijs_diy No probs, I'm sure I'll work it out 😁👍
Keep going
Thanks 😊
Please try on fork oil change. Thanks
Hello there and thanks for your video! I'm wondering if I really need to disasemble the fuel tank from my motorcycle in order to change the ignition coil, as I'm having problems with spark plugs system as a whole.
Cheers!
Yes it does help taking the tank off but u can easily do it without taking the tank off, it is located under the tank inside the frame. But did u check by changing the suppressor caps first, sometimes it is the suppressor caps which are at fault not the whole coil.
Thnx brother! The video is really good.. But the squirrel chattering sound was bugging me, u should have chased the squirrel away before shooting the video.. I too will try this coz im upgrading the spark plugs.. Thank U...
Thanks 😊
The squirrels were inside the school building opposite my house they live there in the plants so hard to shoo them away
Nice understandable easy to do. Only problem my engin don't start anymore... did the connection twice to check. Do you have any idee what it could be ?
Is the fuel pump priming?
Dumb question, I am not sure if you already mentioned. But did you empty the fuel out of the tank before doing all of this or does disconnecting the fuel supply closes it? Never had a motorcycle before so this is all new to me.
Disconnecting it would close the supply, only a little bit will spurt out which is there in the line. Less fuel in tank makes it light in weight to move around.
Hi Inderjeet, thank you for putting this out. If you were to have a tank replacement of GT/Interceptor of a different colour, would it come with the internal connections from Royal Enfield?
Thanks ❤️
No i think we have to fit the fuel pump for the old tank in the new one.
Is there any changes for bs4 and bs6 fuel tank ...coz i have a bs6 interceptor and I need to change my fuel tank to old glitter and dust tank
Haven't seen the tank of bs6 but there should not be any changes as the bs6 changes are mainly in the catcon and a sensor.
Can i fit continental gt tank on interceptor can it have any alternation required
Yes can be done it is straight fit no modifications needed.
Very helpful video. Thanks
Fuel tank for both for Interceptor & Continental-GT, are they compatible to be exchanged to each other's?
Thanks ❤️
Yes the tanks if gt and interceptor can be easily swapped rhe mounting points are same.
@@ijs_diy Sir, one more question pls.
Both BS4 & BS6 fuel tanks have no difference and compatible?
I have BS4 Interceptor and looking for GT fuel tank with a color of BS6 model.
@@waynek1389 yes probably are the same as the difference is in catcon nothing in tank.
@@ijs_diy i expect the same, thank you very much!
@@ijs_diy As per spare part distributor in India, he says BS4 BS6 has difference on fuel pump related stuffs, and he's not sure about which to fit on which.
So, I asked a dealer of my country, it is said Euro5 tank fitting on Euro4 bike is possible, but opposite is not compatible. So Euro4 bike seem to be more flexible to fit on various design of fuel tanks, as long as Domastic vs. Export models for each BS4(Euro4) & BS6(Euro5) remain same.
For your information. 🙂
Hello sir, I’m planning to purchase interceptor 650 mark 2 edition, the only downside I found about mark 2 is it’s red sticker/paint on the chromed tank. So my question is that it is possible to remove the red sticker on the tank?
That's paint and to remove it u need to sandblast the whole tank. Not worth the effort, live with it for sometime and it will grow on you as it does look good.
Otherwise yout can always mask the red with some good quality automotive wrap.
Hi sir, im planning to change my brand new rocker red tank to dr mayhem tank, will it void my warranty ? It will be done by re expert is it easy to swap tank or is it not advisable ?
Yea the tanks are swap able , but needs to check if the mount for bs6 and bs4 fule pumps are same or not. Get it done at re service center and there would be no warranty issues.
Amigo un cordial saludo desde latino America COLOMBIA me gustaria que en tus videos incluyas la posivilidad de subtitulos para traducirlos al español y entenderte mejor
Thanks ❤️
I will try to add captions in Spanish.
Another awesome video.....NEW SUBSCRIBER!!!! Is it possible to use a GT tank on an interceptor??? Anybody have experience in doing this?
Thanks
Yes tanks are easily swap able.
Many owners have already done it.
Prior to removing the hose, do we need to to drain the fuel out?
Not necessary but fuel makes the tank heavy so preferably should do it with around half tank or less. Mine was about half , and with too much fuel floating side to side the little bit might come out from the evap hole on the right side and is ok.
Fuel wont come out from the fuel line but having less fuel makes the tank lighter to work.
@@ijs_diy But fuel did come out when you disconnected and you glossed over it.... I'll have a small cup ready when I do mine.... still a fantastic video, thanks!
czcams.com/video/2r7Ji_E30cM/video.html
@@offbeatbareass69 first time the fuel didn't came out of the hose, but when i made the video i just rode the bike previous night so it might be possible that there is little fuel left in the line. I have removed tank from the my previous fi Motorcycle and no fuel came out as fuel is pumped out by the fuel pump. Keeping a cup would be good idea but don't worry even if it comes out it would be little bit.
Sir can we swap old continental gt (2016) with new continental gt(2021) tank ???... Please reply
No
Any idea how much does a gt 650 tank cost for standard colour
10 k around this much for standard colour
Does a gt 535 fit on interceptor 659 frame?? Thanks
No gt 535 tank won't fit. U can swap tank with gt650 .
will the fuel keep pouring out until the tank is empty?
should I empty the fuel in the tank first?
No fuel won't come out by doing this. But less fuel in tank means a lightweight to work with.
To empty the tank u need to remove the pump or take it out from top.
@@ijs_diy so I did the maintenance this afternoon and something bad happened to me that none of the videos in the internet mentioned.
My feeler gauge fell into the hole in the middle where the cam drive chain is.
So, Before doing anything, I would suggest anyone to cover any openings with towels to prevent any small parts to fell into that openings
Can I change continental GT 650 tank with interceptor 650 tank ? Without any modifications?
Yes with ease.
I'm a student and buying old 2016 continental gt but I love the new shiny silver tank of the new continental gt....can i swap the tank of the old model continental gt with new model tank ?
2016 is gt 535 and the tanks and mounts are different. 650gt tank might not fit. Fuel pump mounts are also different.
@@ijs_diy thankyou for replying sir , if you have any contacts or knows perosn who works in this field, I'd be really helpful if you could ask them once. If tank swap not possible then I'll not buy the old bike..I'll take the new bike on emi
@@abhinavverma58 yes the tanks wil not fit without physical modification to mounts. Stick with the original tabk or buy the gt650.
To clear you doubt just simply go and ask your nearest re workshop.
@@ijs_diy thankyou for replying sir. Really appreciate ❤️
Can we put continental gt650 tank on interceptor?
Yes it's a easy swap
Gyaani Baba ki Jai Ho 😂...
😂😂 thanks
I am on the shorter side and so are you I guess. I want to know how you manage to ride this beast comfortably?
Yes I am 5.4ft only and it is pretty manageable Never had any issue with seat height.
@@ijs_diy if possible..can you please make a short video about this sir?
@@shubhampradhan3976 would try to do this.
Ye colour kaha se aya bhai interceptor me ?
Bhai ji abhi black ki jagha pe red milega with chrome. Chrome and black is not in manufacturing now.
@@ijs_diy wahi to bhai, abhi wala accha nai lagta, purana wala accha lagta tha, wo kahi se mil skta h aj k time ?
@@akshaychaudhary3461 second hand market mai hi milega bhai. Abhi toh mai suggest karoonga aap new wala hi lo woh bhi kaafi mast hai aur abhi toh apko alloys ke sath tubeless tyres ki bhi option hai woh bhi le sakte ho but woh chrome nahi hoga.
How to cut off the fuel?
It will not come out don't worry, only the very very small amount which is in the line would spill out that too not always. Fuel only comes out when the fuel pump is on.
Thank you buddy
Unable to disconnect the fuel pipe
@@thaqsheelv1387 u need to push buttons on both sides bit tricky for first time but can be done.
Finally got it removed. Was a difficult task
I do not know how to remove the seat 😂
😂😂 open the right panel with the key them there is a pull tab , just pull it and take the seat off.
