Fuel Tank Replacement
- Relieve the fuel pressure (see Fuel Pressure Relieving ).
- Drain the fuel tank: Remove the fuel pump (see Fuel Pump/Fuel Gauge Sending Unit Replacement ). Using a hand pump, hose and container suitable for gasoline, draw the fuel from the fuel tank.
- Jack up the vehicle, and support it with jackstands.
- Remove the fuel pipe cover (A). Disconnect the fuel vapor hose and quick-connect fittings. Disconnect the hoses. Slide back the clamps, then twist the hoses as you pull to avoid damaging them.
- Place a jack, or other support, under the tank.
- Remove the strap bolts, and let the strap (B) fall free.
- Remove the fuel tank (C). If it sticks to the undercoat on its mount, carefully pry it off the mount.
- Install the remaining parts in the reverse order of removal.
