Fuel Tank: Service and Repair

1. Relieve the fuel pressure.
2. Drain the fuel tank: Remove the fuel pump. Using a hand pump, hose, and container suitable for gasoline, draw the fuel from the fuel tank.
3. Jack up the vehicle, and support it with jackstands.




4. Remove the fuel line 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.
5. Place a jack or other support under the tank.
6. Remove the strap bolts, and let the straps (B) hang free.
7. Remove the fuel tank (C). If it sticks to the undercoat on its mount, carefully pry it off the mount.
8. Install the remaining parts in the reverse order of removal.
