Pulling fuel tank ('94)
Can someone summarize for me how much work it is to pull the fuel tank from a '94? I want to upgrade my fuel system including an AN-10 bung at the bottom of the tank, but that will mean it has to come out, of course.
Thanks!

Drop exhaust out or down from car.
Spare tire cover and all.
Remove rear bumper cover and misc items back there.
Remove the 2 gas tank straps and cables off the sway bar and etc underneath.
Disconnect fuel lines from sending unit either from top where the fuel door goes or through the back when the bumper cover is off.
Theres 4 frame bolts on the back frame of the gas tank...they need to be loosened,and I think remove 2 of them but leave 2 in loose to keep from falling out all the way.
Then lower the back frame far enough to get the gas tank out.May need to pull the frame out an inch or so toid in dropping it.
Trust me, its very tight back there.
If you cant drop the frame down enough, youll have to remove the sender unit from the top of the tank to aid in clearing the top of the back 1/4 panels when taking it out .
Sounds like a big job but once you do it and know where everything goes etc, its not that bad.
This is just a summary..Im assuming you have the shop manual or repair manual to outline it more so.
Good Luck!
