Fuel tank is not hard to get to - standard position under the back seat, in front of the rear suspension. To get to the pump you remove the back seat cushion (just pulls right out), undo a cover panel in the body and then you have access to the cover panel on the top of the tank. Replacing the fuel lines is something I will do eventually in any case, as some of the fuel and brake lines have external corrosion and I want this car to be drive-across-the-country-at-a-moment's-notice safe again. I've owned this car for 23 years and 220k miles and it was my primary transportation until about 2004.

What I had in mind to do was leave the tank and lines in for now and just pump all the old bad gas out this weekend and put good gas in it and see if it runs well then, or if I need to pull the injectors. Then drop tank and clean it and replace fuel lines later this summer, when I drop in a spare motor and put the original one on a stand to do rod bearings and an engine-compartment cleanup job.
