How to Remove the Fuel Tank From a Toro Tiller

A Toro tiller makes it easy to cultivate the soil in your garden or flower bed. The rotating tines cut up the soil and turn it over, mixing in old vegetation and topsoil as you go. The Toro tiller uses a gasoline engine to provide power to the tines. Over time, the gas tank may require cleaning or replacement. With some basic hand tools, you can remove the gas tank in a few minutes.
