Gas tank removal 924S?
Hello, can anyone tell me, step by step how to remove the gas tank on my vehicle?
I can't locate the blasted manual and I need to get this done while I have the tranny out to do the clutch. I took off the straps from below but it is not dropping. I wanted to inspect the tank and replace the lines while I am here. Thanks.

I assume you have removed the suction and return lines from the bottom of the tank and have drained it. From inside the rear hatch area, you will need to pull the carpet back above the passenger side wheel well. There is an access cover over the fill and vent lines. Remove the cover. (In addition to the screws and nuts, it is glued.) Take pictures of the snake pit of tubes and hoses. Remove the hoses. (The fill hose is stiff and may not come off until you drop the tank.) Mark the wires and unplug the wiring from the fuel tank gauge sender. From below, remove the fuel pump. The tank should be free to drop. Look for stress cracks on the top of the tank near the vent connection. These can be repaired with Permatex fuel tank putty. Use the photos you took earlier to help route the lines when you replace the tank. You will need to use a jack or other means to partially raise it while you attach the lines.
