Gas tank replacement ????

Save your old lock ring for the sending unit. The new ones are thinner/cheaper and do not seal.

Unscrew the nut on the J-bolt for the gas tank strap and undo the strap. then pull down and wiggle the tank until it comes off of the filler tube.


Remember to lube the rubber grommet for the filler tube when you install the new tank. Sometimes you have to wrestle them up the tube and the lube helps (grease, WD-40 etc).

And don't forget the ground strap for your sending unit. The metal clip that goes across the rubber hose and connects the metal fuel line on the car to the sending unit tube. Make sure the surfaces are nice and clean for a good ground.
