Need some quick help dropping my fuel tank

ndfrspd · December 16th, 2008, 01:30 PM

Im dropping my fuel tank to replace my fuel pump. I know there are two hinged straps that hold the tank up. Then there are four bolts on the firewall that connect the filler line to the tank which have to be undone.... but thats it right? I just undo the straps, undo the 4 bolts and the tank should fall out and then i just undo the hoses and what not.

Am i missing anything.... is this a hard job? How long will it take? Any tips?

By firewall if you mean fender yes. Undo the straps and bolts holding the filler neck to the fender. Watch the fuel lines while you lower it you dont wanna break any.
