With the tank pushed up against the floor and a holding bolt at each corner (the jack is also still holding it underneath) we are starting to put the pipes back on. The pipe we are putting on in the picture is the main filler pipe. The pipe has a rubber sleeve that you can push over the pipe that is attached to the tank, after which you can fit and tighten the two hose clamps to make sure it holds and is air/fuel tight. While you have the tank out though make sure all these rubber fittings are ok and haven't broken or perished while you've been moving them around. Ours were fine to use again but it's best to have a good look at any piping that has sat in the same place for the last 38+ years.
