(yes I used search)
Is it going to be as easy as undoing the fastener on the top and pulling up? Anything I should look out for? I need to remove the tank so I can get it cleaned out at the local boil-n-go radiator shop. Also, 'While I'm In Thereā¢' anything else I should be doing? |

I drained my tank my placing an empty 6 gal. Gas can in the front trunk spare tire area. This area is slightly lower than the bottom of the 914 fuel tank. I then siphoned the gas into the gas can. This pretty much emptied all but a couple pints of gas from the fuel tank. Lifted the 914 fuel tank out single-handed after this. I also renewed the drain hoses from the fan housing, to the floor pan. These were rotted & brittle. I was fortunate enough to not have any rust, but there was a fair share of grime below the tank. That idea of adding an electrical quick disconnect inline on the fuel sender cable sound like a good one. I'll likely do this next time I need to pull my tank.
