Removing gas tank..

[pbureau@attbi.com (ATS - Patrick Bureau)]

Well to get the gas tank out you need to:

unbolt the lower shock bolt
unbolt the 4 bolts (2 per side) that are on the rear axle bushings
disconnect your brake line at the axle joint (under body)
disconnect the gas fill hose
Disconect the gas pump hoses (2 of them I beleive)
drop the tank...

lots of fun, and a real PITA of a job!

=>Do you have to drop the rear axle to remove the gas tank? My gas tank has
=>alot of rust in it and I was wondering if I got some cooling system flush
=>and filled the tank with that and let it sit for a while and then drain it
=>out and do it again if it would clean the tank pretty good. The stuff is
=>supposed to get rid of rust and isnt supposed to be corrosive. Of course I
=>would flush the tank with gas to get rid of the excess flush. Let me know
=>what you think.
