: : Mitch : Tank removal is not hard once you commit to do it.You will need : people because the tank is awkard to handle and requires some : moving back and forth to get out. : From inside your car: : Disconnect gas line and drain gas.Your gastank is your dashboard. : Look under your dash faceplate and you will see a line of bolts : and nuts, they come out, a couple of them are pretty far to each : side.Remove instrument panel, disconnect wireing spedometer : cable etc.on each side of the tank you will have two clamps, : four in all, loosen nuts and remove them. : From outside your car: : Remove hood, cowl band and screws that are just aft of the hood seal. : Remove two screws, one each side, that holds the rear tank cowl : strip in place, they screw into side window post.The hood seal : must also be removed.At this time your tank should be free, if : not recheck bolts under dash. : A hint:Soak all bolts and screws with a penetrating oil : before attempting removal, they will be rusty. : Good luck Leo :Mitch, Is this the only way to deal with rust scale in the gas tank?I mean, is there a product on the market that will strip or maybe solidify the rust by adding it to the tank without having to remove it and have it acid dipped? : Pete : :
