Support Team Shaun_E Posted January 5, 2005 Support Team Share Posted January 5, 2005 The following should help: 1. Remove boot floor - usually self tappers for the plywood bit and then the rest of it lifts out 2. Drain tank - use one of those syphon devices that you can get at kit/classic car shows or your local motor factor 3. Disconnect fuel line from fuel filter (usually bolted to the back of the rear bulk head). Disconnect fuel return. 4. I removed the fuel pump (3 or 4 screws on side of tank) but you might not need to do this 5. Remove filler cap and unbolt filler neck from rear skin - can't remember this bit exactly but it was straightforward. Remove the breather pipes if necessary. 6. Undo tank retaining bolts - 2 very long bolts that hold a piece of angle iron to the forward top edge of the tank 7. If you have a std rollbar then probably easiest to remove that. With FIA bar it's too difficult so you'll have to work around it 8. Jack rear of car up 9. Drop passenger side of petrol tank down towards the ground and then lift tank up through gap in middle of roll bar - it requires a bit of jiggling around but it's the dropping of the tank down that enables you to get it out the top. N.B. this is for a K-series (i.e. fuel injection) may be different for carb set up.
