Is there anything that I should give attention while the fuel tank is out?
I have already:
Does the box in top center of photo, which I believe is the Fresh air inlet box, need anything and does the fuel tank need to be out to do it?  Our car is a 1970 914-6. My understanding is charcoal canister didn't appear until later. Tips on installing the fuel hose to lines so I don't end up with a leak? Thank you. |

Yup, replace the felt pads that the tank rests on. Clean up where they go, repaint if necessary. Check the gas tank where it sits on the pads; they hold moisture pretty well and can promote rust pinholes in the tank in those spots.
