As anyone removed the fuel tank without removing the bumper cover? Bumper cover removal is not an option for me and I must install new tank.

I didn't think it possible to remove the tank with the bumper cover on. I've never looked very close.

Id say NO also....You can drop the huge aluminum carrier, but it would be easier to remove the bumper first. Sucks, but these cars are not too tech friendly, unless its brakes!.....Good luck....

I removed my gas tank from my 84 years ago without touching the bumper cover...

The rear bumper cover is extended more than stock and all the filler has been removed so it seems to be possible. I guess I will find out next week when the tank arrives.

I saw some other pictures recently that showed how the tank support bolts to the frame.

Thanks Cliff, I am fairly confident that it will be an easy task. I just need a lift and an extra set of hands. It looks like, if the sway bar and and a couple of other items that attach to the rear axle are removed, the entire assembly will drop straight down. Tank was delivered yesterday but Google tells me this growing pain in my lower right abdomen is most likely appendicitis. So no telling when it happens now.

It was too easy. Yes the tank can be dropped without removing the bumper cover.
