john townsend Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 Decided to fit a new prv from prestige injection,as was getting resonance from the pump in the summer hot days, but found that the prv mounting had broken on one side, cant get the body of the prv undone from the T piece. So need to replace the mountings at the same time but only way to access as far as i can see is to remove the fuel tank. Can anyone tell me the way to remove the tank and what sort of job it is. Haynes manual goes on about removing the centre capping of the rear elbow rail retaining screws and slide the capping to one side until its other end is clear of the side capping, withdraw the centre section. I am not sure what this means!!! Does any one no the procedure for removing the tank. thanks john Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stallie Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 Pulled mine out recently. Brown book has procedure. Something like Remove boot trim Pull fuel cap off Undo clips on filler hose Remove filler hose and grommet Undo the lines going in at top Undo gauge sensor wires (rhs top) Get a bucket, undo line at filter and drain (make sure batt disconnected) Undo 6 or8 bolts holding it in an remove. You might need a socket extender around 6-8 inches. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jersey Royal Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 You should be able to remove Prv without taking the tank out. Have you tried access to Prv from the cockpit side of the tank. Not easy but i have done it in the past Cheers Guy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cp25616 Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 Agreed Guy, you should be able to get the PRV out without removing the tank. Alan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobinTR6 Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 Yep just done this can be removed with tank in place. Remove rear deck panel makes this easy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DaveB66 Posted October 1, 2020 Report Share Posted October 1, 2020 Hi You can find pdf copies on the internet, try googling Triumph TR6 Workshop Manual. Personally I find the hard copy easier to use and you can get these from Rimmers, or try Ebay or Amazon, it's well worth the money! Dave Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Paulfc Posted October 1, 2020 Report Share Posted October 1, 2020 Hi, I’ve just replaced the PRV mountings. It was straight forward. Removed the n/s rear wheel which gave access to the nuts holding the mounting studs. Obviously I removed the boot lining, carpet etc. and trim. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dave +1, and my paper Brown Bible is covered in hand written notes and sketches of things I discovered as I worked through each operation- which 10 or 20 years later are priceless.

Start by removing the back mountings of the hood to make the job easier. Lift up back section of hood and secure. Remember that the body of the PRV needs a whitworth spanner or adjustable and pipe fittings as they are BSP. Bruce. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
