Re: '94 3.1 Removing fuel tank
Fairly simple......need to disconnect the fuel filler pipe from tank......disconnect harness to tank.......disconnect two fuel lines and evap line...... two "U" brackets hold the tank up.....use a jack to hold the tank up while you remove brackets(center the jack for balance)....slowly lower tank....may find additional vac lines or harnesses(vent solenoid)......
Always easier if very little fuel left in the tank...... |

Also helps to avoid damage to the tank if the jack has a very small lift dish.

Re: '94 3.1 Removing fuel tank
WelmoedJ's method is definitely easier than removing the tank while holding it on your chest with about 7-8 gallons of fuel in it. I remember how uch fun it was when replacing the fuel pump. Cheers KEV

Re: '94 3.1 Removing fuel tank
Been there done that... Good to have tools of all sorts...lol
I had to replace my pump 4 years ago... Great thing was it died in the driveway...lol... Got lucky.. Had 14 gallons in it tho... Drained most of it into a couple of 5 gallon gas cans...lol Now 4 years later the Fuel sending unit is shot... I will be doing the tank drop again and will go with another new fuel pump too...lol.. Its not a bad job if the tank is almost empty... |
