Drop Tank ??
I am curious to see if the build sheet is still on top of my 72 tank.
Is it a big deal to drop the tank?
I think I will replace the sending unit and straps while I'm there.
I have looked through and under the rubber inlet seal, but cannot see if the sheet is still there. I assume it is "self explanatory" after I remove the spare and carrier. Any suggestions before I get started ?
Have someone help you! I dropped mine on my chest.. OW!
If you can, siphon as much gas out of it as possible.. and take pictures to reference. Mine was out of my vette for a couple months, and remembering where everything goes was no-fun!
i used an extendable inspection mirror and a flashlight b4 i dropped my tank.... and no it wasn't there
I was going to drop my tank about a month ago now, and took the spare tire carrier off......thought Id try taking some pics...but that proved difficult. tried looking for it with a flashlight through the filler hole (by moving the rubber)...but that was difficult cause the Luggage rack got in the way.
so I used an extendable mirror, which was much better, but I still couldn't see it.....
so that either means I couldn't see it , or I don't have it!
and now I won't be satisfied until I drop the tank.
Let us know how you go. Take plenty of pictures.
Do a search on the forum, there are some threads with some good advice/help.
