In this interesting video, we see how to dismantle the float inside the tank of a vintage Fiat 500R. We know that the tank is located in the front hood: with a 7mm key, we remove the bolts around it, then unscrew the clamp to remove the tube that goes into the tank.

We remove the float inside to clean it thoroughly and then reassemble it inside: the original pieces must be preserved.

The cleaning also includes cleaning the float support tube, using a wire and compressed air. We reassemble it by putting back the bolts and the outlet tube, tighten the clamp, and the job is done.

How to Remove the Rear Seat of a Hyundai Tucson?

To remove the rear seat of a Hyundai Tucson, follow these steps. Start by moving the front seats to their most forward position to gain space. Next, locate the release lever on the underside of the rear seat, near the floor. Press this lever down while pulling the seat upwards to unlock it from the anchor pins. Once unlocked, tilt the seat upwards and forwards to remove it from its position. Repeat this process for both sides of the rear seat. Be careful of any electrical cables or components that may be connected to the seat during removal. Once the rear seat is removed, the disassembly is complete.
