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.

I use a an electric pump bought from FLAPS with hoses on both ends to empty the tank. Just stick the suction hose in the tank, and put the pressure hose in the filler of another car. Then connect the wires to the battery and wait until almost all the gas is out of the tank.
Then remove the overflow tank. Take the electrical off the sender, and disconnect the hold down strap. Then lift the tank, put the block under the edge of the tank and disconnect the hoses. You can use vacuum cap plugs to cap the fuel outlets so a lot of gas doesn't leak out. |
