  Q: How to remove and install a fuel tank?

  A: The following procedure is much easier to perform if the fuel tank is empty. Drain the fuel into an approved fuel container using a commercially available siphoning kit (NEVER start the siphoning action by mouth) or wait until the fuel tank is nearly empty, if possible. Remove the fuel tank filler cap to relieve fuel tank pressure. Relieve the fuel system pressure. Disconnect the cable from the negative terminal of the battery. Disconnect the lines and wiring from the Fuel Pump module at the top of the fuel tank. If desired, the fuel pump module can be removed at this time. Raise the vehicle and place it securely on jackstands. If there is still fuel in the tank, siphon it out from the fuel feed line. Remember - NEVER start the siphoning action by mouth! Remove the exhaust pipe. Disconnect the hoses and electrical connector from the fuel tank (Depress the tang and disconnect the electrical connector, then detach the fuel feed hose). Remove the center exhaust tube and exhaust heat shields. Disconnect the parking brake cables from their brackets. Move the cables aside and secure them in place with wire. Remove the fuel tank shield (if applicable). Loosen the fuel filler hose clamp and remove the fuel filler hose from the fuel tank. Disconnect the vent and EVAP hoses, located at the rear or side of the fuel tank. Support the fuel tank with a floor jack. Position a wood block between the jack head and the fuel tank to protect the tank. Remove the fuel tank strap bolts. Remove the tank from the vehicle. Installation is the reverse of removal. Reconnect the battery and perform the necessary re-learn procedures.
