  How to remove a Sierra fuel tank
* Tech *It would help to have as little petrol in the tank as possible before removing the tank. Ensure there are no naked flames or sparks anywhere in the vicinity of where you are working. Place a drain can under the filler hose, undo the clamp and remove the filler hose.

Remove the wire from the fuel gauge and the two hoses from the top of the tank. This is pretty straight forward if your car has a bodylift, but may be a bit of a pain if you don't. If this is the case loosen the four bolts that hold your tank in as much as possible without removing them completly, so you can acess the hoses. If the hoses are hard to remove try twisting them or butting a screwdriver up to the end of the hose and hitting the screwdriver with the palm of your hand.


Working from underneath the car undo the main fuel line from the pickup on the fuel tank. Use a 17mm and a 14mm spanner to loosen the pipe. Do NOT use just a single spanner on the pipe or else damage to the pick up line on the tank will result.

Remove the 4 bolts that hold the tank in and remove the fuel tank from the car.

Refitting is a revesal of the above procedure
