Changing fuel tank

(1/3) > >>

philcooper:
I'm gonna be changing my fuel tank on my disco this weekend, having not done this before is there anything i should be aware of before i jump in feet first and start pulling bit's of i should'nt?

ChrisW:
Beware of the fuel pipes into the top of the tank as they tend to rust/go brittle etc.

dazzawhipple:
Start soaking the strap fittings in WD40 now......dont forget to soak the jubliee clips on the fill and vent pipes

denviks:
dont trust the fuel gauge either.......trust me when i say this....( from experiance ) a gauge that shows empty may actully be wrong and the tank may still have 30+ ltrs in it and thats heavy  :shock:  :shock:  :shock:

Check the tank contents vis the inspection hatch in the boot liner floor...., also you can access the return lines aswel...., probably buried under mud if you've been off road :wink:
