Hi Martin,
if it does not hurt it is no good !! :--))).
At Hein Gericke f.e. you can get a plastic clutch (2 parts) which is mounted
within the fuel line. Whenever you need to remove
the tank you only disconnect the 2 parts and no fuel will drop.
The price is about EURO 18,--. (I assume you need 2 sets , one per fuel
switch).
Quite expensive but cheaper than the doctor.
* The inner diameter of the line is 8 mm.
Greeting
Harald
