Hey guys its been a while since ive been on here. I havnt had a whole lot of motivation to work on my 72 914 . I'm wanting to remove the gas tank here soon and know how to do it. However im just curious of the various different ways much smarter members have to removing the tank. Plus im not trying to make a mess. Tank should be empty but is too rusted to be saved.

If you're lucky, someone may have replaced those bottom fuel lines w longer ones, allowing you to pull the tank up and out pretty far, prop it securely, and reach down to cut or clamp/cut those hoses.
When you re-install, add the longer length hoses but be sure they coil properly w/o kinks when you lower the tank back in. Credit this tip to McMark (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |
