RE: [DML] Fuel tank cleaning/removal

Jump up and down on it and get a crow bar and get it from the bottom.
Spread the coolant pipes apart and work the back out first. It is tough
but it will pop out. I have done 4 of these so far.

Subject: [DML] Fuel tank cleaning/removal



Hello List,
I am replacing my fuel distributor and cleaning the
injectors etc but I
have not started the car yet. Since my car sat I would like to
pull the tank
out and clean it. How do I go about cleaning it? I removed the
pump, and
the tank really doesnt look that bad inside but the gas has a
orange/yellow
tint to it with a few small particles on the bottom of the tank.
I will also
be replacing some of the fuel hoses running to the back. does
the tank need
to be professionally cleaned? How do I go about removing some
of the
components inside the tank? any help would be greatly
appreciated. 
I have the tank shield removed but I can not get the tank to
come out. 
The fuel pump and filler line is removed and the tank is empty.
any ideas? 
I've tried kicking it out from the top but it wont move an inch.

Thanks list
David
