Changing a gas tank...

[doratheneon]

Hey guyz I have an 87 Bronco and I need to change my gas tank, how hard is it, can It be done or should I take it to the shop ?

Thanks..

you can do it. if you need help, just get a haynes or chilton. your fuel pump should be on the rail, so all you have to do is run it till low fuel light is on so there is as little amount of gas as possible, then just disconnect all hoses and vents, unbolt, slap in new one. just be careful, you are working with gas. Use a jack to hold the fuel pump up while you unbolt everything.

ya empty the gas out before you drop the tank and use a jack to hold it, i learned that the hard way 2 weeks ago in my dads driveway under his cutlass ciera with it held up with my knees trying to disconect the final fuel line.
