Removing Deck Fill Remote Oil Tank on 200VXTLRD

[mercob]

Is there a trick to removing the deck fill hose and cap from the remote oil tank? I need to remove the oil tank in order to replace the oil transfer pump. Is the oil cap threaded on this type of tank? I do not see any clamps around the fill hose, but I didn't want to start pulling on the hose without knowing for sure how it comes off.

I have no idea what you referring to as the "deck fill hose". Look at the parts blow out for your tank below and reply back with the part # you're asking about.

#28 is the grommet which secures the pump into the tank. To remove pump just pull it out of grommet. To isolate pump from oil pipes, remove clamps.
