: 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?
