Two hatches under the rear seat. Disconnect electrical connectors and pipes to the vapour tank.

Disconnect fuel filler hose.
Unscrew bolts and one nut supportink tank and remove.
Check/replace rear brake lines (you'll never get a better chance)..

You'll find a couple of the tank mounting bolts are a bit hidden by the rear subframe, but you can just about force on a 3/8" socket set. There's a drain plug on the bottom of the tank that you can use to drain the fuel first if you like, to make the tank lighter. Clean out the hex socket first and make sure your hex driver is fully in before you try to unscrew it.
