Lift the top of the sender unit up and off, and then lift your fuel pump out, put your new fuel pump into place, put the top of the sender unit back down, and replace those three 3/16 bolts. Now, lift this up and out, and then remove these three 3/16 bolts. We'll just fast-forward as Don does that. Now, just push the tab on this harness and disconnect it. Just use a container and a funnel, and now you can recover any unused fuel. Now, you can just drain out some of the gas that's inside of this.

You want to make sure you remember which way the arrow on the fuel pump sender is facing for when you go to install it onto your new fuel tank. Now, use a flat blade screwdriver to pry up around the outside of the fuel pump sender. Just disconnect it, pull it from that clip, and then slide the ring over these harnesses. To get the ring off, you're going to need to pull this harness free. With a screwdriver and a hammer, and just remove that ring. Remove any debris with a broom or compressed air works well as well. Pull out the jack, and then we shift it down and out, and then pull it right down. You can see because of fuel in the tank we've got two people holding the tank. Actually, having your car down on the driveway on jack stands with a jack underneath is easier. We'll just fast-forward as Don does this on the other strap. Once you can see the pin at the edge of the hole, and once you can see the pin through the hole, then you just use your pliers and pull the pin out. You can either use a flat blade screwdriver to push it up and into the hole, or you can use a small pair of pliers. Now, pull back the gas tank strap, and there's a pin that holds this end in, and you can remove it one of two ways. Just push it up into place and use your impact wrench to remove it. As you can see, it's completely rounded so to remove it, we're going to need to use this damaged bolt removal tool, and you just put it into a socket and use an impact wrench, and those teeth will bite into the bolt and help pull it free. When we go to remove this one, we have a bit of a problem with it. Using a 13mm socket and ratchet with an extension or using an impact wrench and a 13mm socket, you just want to remove that bolt. Then, you want to remove the bolts holding in the gas tank straps. Put a block of wood on a jack and then just jack up your gas tank. You just push in the tab and disconnect the harness.

Lastly, on the front passenger side corner of the tank, there's a harness. With that hose free, there's actually another hose coming into it that you want to disconnect. You can see he does use some penetrating oil to help, you don't need to but it definitely does make it a bit easier. We'll fast forward as Don just works these hoses free. Now, just pry up this yellow clip and once you get it pried up most of the way it's easier to just remove it by hand. Now, loosen up these two hose clamps, and slide those clamps back. Now, put your drip pan underneath your fuel filter here, and pull those hoses free. You just want to jack the vehicle up as high as you can so that you can have a lot of room to get the tank out from underneath. While Don's doing that, in order to prepare for this, you can see that we have it on the lift, but doing it with just jack and jack stands is okay, too. We're going to disconnect these two fuel lines from the fuel filter, pry down on the tabs, and then pull them free. Start off by starting your car, and then go to your fuse box and remove this fuel pump relay. You're going to need a new fuel tank from, a flat blade screwdriver, a drip pan, two pairs of pliers, 13mm socket and a ratchet with an extension, a file, a vice, a hammer, jack and jack stands, and depending on the condition of your vehicle, you may also need a damaged bolt removal tool and an impact wrench.
