How do you remove the gas tank on a John Deere L130 lawn mower?

Answer 1

# Raise the seat (as you would to add gas) # Remove the 2 springs that the seat rests on (use a socket with extension).

# Remove the gas line, use needle nose pliers to squeeze open the clamp, then pull the hose (this is under the body panel, access from the rear, on top of the tank)

# Have a helper lift up on the rear of the body panel, reach under the panel and lift the gas tank out.

# Install in reverse order. The body panel is quite flexible...I called a JOHN DEERe service shop and this is how they do it. 10 minute job.

Answer 2

If the tank is below the seat... # Raise the seat (as you would to add gas) # Remove the 2 springs that the seat rests on (use a socket with extension). # Remove the gas line, use needle nose pliers to squeeze open the clamp, then pull the hose (this is under the body panel, access from the rear, on top of the tank) # Have a helper lift up on the rear of the body panel, reach under the panel and lift the gas tank out. # Install in reverse order.

Answer 3

A good way to drain the gas would be to very carefully detach the gas line from the carb and let it drain into a bucket. One could also use a hose and pump to suck the gas out of the tank and into a bucket without removing the gas line if they do not know how to identify the gas line and do not have the manual to their mower.
