Operation Fuel Drop: Remove Tank
Well today started the day i would really get cracking into fixing all the little niggling problems i have had with the car since day 1. And the first and obvious one is the Fuel Tank Leak. So this morning i went about removing the tank. Step by Step.
1) Disconnect battery for atleast 30seconds before working.
2) Locate Service Hole
3) Remove Service Hole
4) Remove Fillerpipe Protector
5) Fuel Line which need to be disconnected
6) Fuel Inlet - I was going to remove it, but i couldn't get the door opener removed
7) Remove bolts from Inlet - This was a pain, since a few are in hard to get places. As for the torque, all the bolts were screwdriver tight.
8) Unplug the lines
9) Support the tank - Important since you don't want the tank to just fall out
10) Unbolt Fastners - Again these were tight, but spanner tight
11) Remove the Tank - the moment we ahve all be waiting for
12) Tank is out!
