P500 DO YOU HAVE TO REMOVE GAS TANK TO REPLACE FUEL PUMP

[Steve00]

Oh Lord please someone tell me I don't have to remove the gas tank to replace the fuel pump in a p500🙏

According to the service manual, all you have to remove is the seat frame. I don't know how complicated or involved that process is.

Doesn't look too horrible.

sorry I can't answer your question on a 500, the 700 is accessible from under the seat . I am sure one of these gurus will chime in later and give you all the details, there are some very helpful people on the forum.

looks about the same as the 700 not bad as long as you don't have a full cab.

Just a heads up, I've found those door bolts to be a pita! Doesn't seem like any allen wrench fits them right. I've had them off twice and swore I wouldn't take them off again the last time. There's also a couple of push pins for the side panel on the backside down by the bottom of the gas tank that were somewhat of a b**** to get to. Don't really understand why you would need to remove either one if the fuel pump is on top of the tank though? 🤨

X2. If you have to remove door might be good idea just get new bolts. Mine I was able to turn with vice grip after stripping allen out and drilling bolt head off. Used anti-seize on install!

The fuel pump is under a bar, Think I'd have to just remove the bar then remove pump
