@@toolmaker5150 it's how I always do it, it always works, just don't cut in the centre, put the vise grips as close to outlets as possible and cut closest to one vise grip as possible. leaves plenty of line on one side.
Thanks for this post! I can't say I had the same luck slipping the drain hose onto the crossover nipple without spilling a "bit more" gas but got it done. Some other valuable things shown that I was not aware of so this was timely!! Thanks again!

"The bars of your dreams" Sometimes you are so funny, and you don't mean to be. It's like . . . I saw these bars in my dreams and I just have to have 'em. Outstanding videos boys!
Nice job guys. I would go ahead and get some line clamps...they are also cheap, and you won't tear up your lines with the locking pliers. I've been using the 4 piece set from Harbor Freight and they work real good. Cost about 6 bucks with a coupon.
Agreed. We've picked up some line clamp recently. Ride safe & Ride Often!

First off, thanks for the video. I need to drain my tank this winter, got some old fuel in it I wanna get out. My question is, in replacing this crossover line do I need to use high pressure hose since this is an FI system or can I use regular hose here? Thanks again.
Use a vacuum fitting cap on the vent nipple and you'll dribble less fuel when you pull the line off the balance line nip. Then remove the vac cap when your drain line is hooked up. Vac caps are on the dorman "help" rack in pretty much every auto parts store in the USA...
I have a FXDB, if I undo the rear tank bolt could I raise the tank enough to get to the dog bone for engine frame adjustment? I am concerned really about wires I could pull and not see them. Thanks man
It might be a good idea to mention that some possibly older bikes like my 03 Fat Boy has 5/16" fuel lines instead of 1/4" as mentioned in the video. I had to cut my original lines off of the nipples and fuel went everywhere since 1/4" fuel lines won't fit . Just saying. Love your videos.
Same, lost about 4 flipn gallons, holy smokes man! I cursed HD all day and night, the garage stunk up, the wife let me have an ear full! What genius thought this was a good idea to design it this way!?
No need to spill fuel. There are other options available for this job. You can use 2 clamps, then cut the line in the middle, between the clamps and connect to a drain hose. Then release the clamp on the line with the drain , or leave it clamped but make sure everything is sealed. Or use a big funnel and disconnect the fuel hose and drain everything from the tank. Or get a piece of tubing and make a siphone.
1:28 Q about the vent line. I want to get a longer vent line for my Dyna tank lift. I can't find anywhere similar vent hose but longer, any recommendations ? Shall I use similar size fuel hose ? Thanks Ryan for your videos! Very helpful!
Your local auto repair shop should be able to get you vent tubing. Your idea to use similar sized fuel line would also work. Ride safe & Ride Often!

hey Brian, great video. Do I have to remove the speedometer instrument panel to remove the tank on a 2012 flstc? or can I bypass and get by with removing it intact.
this the same for a street bob? got a leaking rocker box gasket and I need to pull the tank prob don't even need to pull the cross over line actually.. could I just remove the mounting bolts then lift it? to get a wrench under

How about getting another quick release connector attached to a length of hose? Then remove the existing one that feeds fuel to the engine, and attach the one attached to a length of hose and drain the tank that way? I hope how I explained that is clear.
Great video, I've been trying to find a vid that explains how to lift my tank on my 2012 FXDWG to check out my electrical. Having a problem with a short. My running lights and fuel gauge stopped working. Sometimes (Once every 40 times) when I turn my ignition switch on they all magically work. until I sit on the bike and move the steering column. I would check the switch first but don't have a spanning tool and the fact that movement of the column make is go off I seriously doubt that's the issue (And yes I checked the bulbs)

Great video! I wish I would have had this 4 weeks ago when I pulled my tank off. I did install a dual check valve connector for the next I remove the tank. My crossover line on my 2006 Heritage is a 5/16" so I guess they downsized the lines in later years. Again, great video and thanks for taking the time to share the knowledge!!

Thanks for the video, helped me out. I just got a fatboy that has been sitting for 4 years with fuel in it, turned to gum. Is the cross over line the only way to get fuel into the gauge side of the tank or is there any way to get nuts on that side to shake the varnish out? Can you recommend anything to dissolve the fuel gunk? Appreciate the help!
I drain the tank with a pump from the top, either hand pump or 12v electric, make sure petcock is off drain from petcock into container , then I use a large plastic funnel with hose to catch gas pinch hose pull one side drain then other side same thing. Allow the tank to evaporate. Use wet vac take 3 ft piece of rubber hose wrap with foam or rags stick in vac hose as a reducer, get as much junk out you as you can. Replace all hoses with new and petcock off fill with as many gallons of apple cider vinegar as tank will hold to the top and leave with caps off for a couple days. Drain from petcock. When empty remove petcock and clean. Be sure it is not clogged. Pull all hoses and check nipples for obstruction. Check all nipples with a wire. Do the wet vac process again. Replace all hoses and petcock. Fill tank to top with diesel fuel to the top and leave for a couple days. Drain completely and fill with the gas you normally use. You might have to clean the carb but you should be good.
Do I purge fuel pressure first before disconnecting supply line on a 2013 FLS? Service manual recommended to depressurize first before removing the tank. What do you suggest?
How about using 2 vise grips to pinch gas line than use wire cutters to cut fuel line in half in between the vise grips. lift off tank with both lines clamped. Or use an inexpensive LiquVac tank to drain gas?
Why even bother with the cross over line when you can simply drain the tank from the petcock valve? Then if the cross over line must be removed you don't need to drain anything there. I'm laughing at the ignorance here
Just thinking.. why not just put a bigger hose on the end of the fuel line running into the gas can then release the clamp. I would think a 3 ft piece of old water hose even would work.
I know this is old video but if anyone knows he said cross over line I’m assuming it’s the line with the collar u push up that’s what I’m trying to undo but it’s a 09 SG but seems about the same on almost all with fuel injection
Pinch with 2 vise grips instead of 1, cut the line between the two vise grips, then put in a tee, and a hose going down, with a petcock,,or on off switch,,,
I have a 2007 fatboy and cant find the mechanism to unlock the assembly. also there is an arm that sticks out with a spring attached. can someone help?
I was told there are two white turn signal connectors under gas tank 2012 & up dynas I'm looking to relocate turn signal to lower fork bar do you have a video or can you confirm the two plug-ins my wires to turn signal is molded to switch 6 inches long I would have to solder and run longer wires down to lowered for bar if there's no plug and under tank can you please confirm or direct me to a video thank you
It varies from year to year George. Wires, lengths colors etc....can't be determined by such descriptions...too many variables. We recently put 12" MX t-bar handlebars on a 2016 Dyna Low Rider S and we relocated the signals from the bars to the forks. Here is the video for that ==> gumroad.com/l/dynahandlebars
I don't know how you pulled that crossover line off so easily, because the one on my bike seems to be welded on! ( Not literally, I know you can't weld rubber) but this thing will not come off!!! I can pull my bike over tugging on this line! I've tried shooting WD 40 into the line, but still nothing. I'm tempted to cut it. Any advice?
Good informative video. But why remove the cross over line? When you can simply drain the tank from the petcock valve? And then simply remove the cross over line after the tank drains
Ryan Urlacher Hey Ryan, really good video very informative thank you. A follow up question here...can we keep the crossover line and simply remove the tank?
If your asking if you can leave the cross over on the tank and remove the tank the answer is no, the crossover line gets hung up on the frame, it has to come off before tank removal is possible.
Not very useful, dynasty have lines and carb cover is Allen wrenched to motorhead, I wd40 mine two weeks put a heater used a t Allen and cheater bar it popped loose. Seems you only need take off rear tank bolt loses it pushes up to access lines and replace them. There is the problem cheap fuel lines too.
So Harley uses a 'quick connect' for the main fuel outlet under the tank, Great! Then they keep that ass-backward crossover line at the front of the tank? What were they thinking? Engineers all stoned down there? Vacuum cap both ends, then drain your tank away from the bike.
No petcock on this bike. Sorry, but it's fuel injected. Ride safe & Ride Often!

Pinch with 2 vise grips instead of 1, cut the line between the two vise grips, then direct whichever side into a container. Viola, no gas spillage.
Yea, I though that also. Easier said than done, the lines will be too short to direct anywhere without pinching.
@@toolmaker5150 it's how I always do it, it always works, just don't cut in the centre, put the vise grips as close to outlets as possible and cut closest to one vise grip as possible. leaves plenty of line on one side.
Excellent idea!! I was trying to think of something to make it easier.
I wonder if any one has put a T fitting with a petcock valve or something?

Nope, we never do that and have no problems. Do it all the time and never depressurize.
How about using 2 vise grips to pinch gas line than use wire cutters to cut fuel line in half in between the vise grips. lift off tank with both lines clamped. Or use an inexpensive LiquVac tank to drain gas?
hrdcoreRider I might be trying just that. Installing new bar myself and your suggestion might save me a mess.
That's and idea too. Glad we got some Patrons watching! Ride safe. RK from LAB.
Why even bother with the cross over line when you can simply drain the tank from the petcock valve? Then if the cross over line must be removed you don't need to drain anything there. I'm laughing at the ignorance here
Glad you liked the video. No petcock valve on these new models. Just a stop valve. Thanks for watching.
fuel injected bikes don't have petcock valves
Very helpful video, thank you.
Good stuff. Suggestion. Being a wrench and a salesman I never use the word cheap. INEXPENSIVE SOUNDS BETTER.
Just thinking.. why not just put a bigger hose on the end of the fuel line running into the gas can then release the clamp. I would think a 3 ft piece of old water hose even would work.
I know this is old video but if anyone knows he said cross over line I’m assuming it’s the line with the collar u push up that’s what I’m trying to undo but it’s a 09 SG but seems about the same on almost all with fuel injection
Pinch with 2 vise grips instead of 1, cut the line between the two vise grips, then put in a tee, and a hose going down, with a petcock,,or on off switch,,,
Do you lnow what that electrical connector he took lose at the end is and what it's for, id appreciate it, thank you
Most likely that was for the fuel gauge.
My quick connect leaks slightly once reconnected. Any ideas?
I have a 2007 fatboy and cant find the mechanism to unlock the assembly. also there is an arm that sticks out with a spring attached. can someone help?
Great video. 👍
Would this process work on my soft tail slim s?
Yes if you have the cross over line. Here is some more info for you, click on the link: www.lawabidingbiker.com/?s=gas+tank
I was told there are two white turn signal connectors under gas tank 2012 & up dynas I'm looking to relocate turn signal to lower fork bar do you have a video or can you confirm the two plug-ins my wires to turn signal is molded to switch 6 inches long I would have to solder and run longer wires down to lowered for bar if there's no plug and under tank can you please confirm or direct me to a video thank you
It varies from year to year George. Wires, lengths colors etc....can't be determined by such descriptions...too many variables. We recently put 12" MX t-bar handlebars on a 2016 Dyna Low Rider S and we relocated the signals from the bars to the forks. Here is the video for that ==> gumroad.com/l/dynahandlebars
Another great video!
Thank you!
I don't know how you pulled that crossover line off so easily, because the one on my bike seems to be welded on! ( Not literally, I know you can't weld rubber) but this thing will not come off!!! I can pull my bike over tugging on this line! I've tried shooting WD 40 into the line, but still nothing. I'm tempted to cut it. Any advice?
I use pliers on the hose at the nipple, WD 40 under the hose helps, lightly back and forth if it doesn’t loosen cut off with box cutter
Very Fine!
Great Job...Thank You.
super pro job, thanks
could all ways instal a 3 way valve to make it easy to drane the gas
Certainly could
Quick disconnect is easier
Good informative video. But why remove the cross over line? When you can simply drain the tank from the petcock valve? And then simply remove the cross over line after the tank drains
Glad you liked the video. No petcock valve on these new models. Just a stop valve.
Ryan Urlacher Hey Ryan, really good video very informative thank you. A follow up question here...can we keep the crossover line and simply remove the tank?
If your asking if you can leave the cross over on the tank and remove the tank the answer is no, the crossover line gets hung up on the frame, it has to come off before tank removal is possible.
Not very useful, dynasty have lines and carb cover is Allen wrenched to motorhead, I wd40 mine two weeks put a heater used a t Allen and cheater bar it popped loose. Seems you only need take off rear tank bolt loses it pushes up to access lines and replace them. There is the problem cheap fuel lines too.
kinda late for this one...I use a 2way valve fuel disconnect no need to drain the tank..cheers

Great!
So Harley uses a 'quick connect' for the main fuel outlet under the tank, Great! Then they keep that ass-backward crossover line at the front of the tank? What were they thinking? Engineers all stoned down there? Vacuum cap both ends, then drain your tank away from the bike.

@@RyanUrlacher Thanks Ryan!
think you forgot to mention the word "nipple"
Why show the obvious part and now the lower section
What's his name? Lurch?????
Yup
did I miss the petcock? I didn't notice seeing him removing the petcock.
No petcock on this bike. Sorry, but it's fuel injected.
