3 bolts hold on the tank. You want to disconnect the fuel line going to the carbs from the on/off valve. Just be sure and turn off the gas first. If it is hard to get the fuel line off of it, you may have to take some needle nose pliers and gently (be careful not to tear) wiggle/turn the hose back and forth. Sometimes they seem to be frozen to the male end.

Put a flathead between the metal on/off switch and the rubber and push it out. A lot safer.
