(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? |

on my /6 you could unplug the sender wires w/o taking off the expansion tank - 'course I didnt find that out until I had the expansion tank off. Careful with those expansion tank screws - fine thread and easy to strip. then you'll have fuel smell in the car.
no need at all to remove hood, but having little fuel in it will save your back. disconnect battery and careful about static electricity. there is a strainer in the tank connected to the outlet line. cheap from porsche. yours is likely trashed by now. but the crush seal was nla so I reused mine. its really worth getting the tank steam cleaned cuz rust gets ground up into such fine particle size that it will go thru your filter and collect in your carbs (if using them) causing problems. |
