Getting fuel tank out?

[Humpty's Revenge]

Does the tank come out on a vr4 without anything of the back axle being removed please?

As I've undone the 3 forward facing 14mm bolts & removed the fuel lines with the electrics.

So is there anything at the rear that has to be undone, disconnected Etc?

I believe the best way (although not the tidiest) of removing this is to undo the fuel cap & lower down the fuel neck, a depth charge. Far quicker than messing around removing bolts, but can't guarantee you will be able to reuse the part afterwards

I have only removed one from a Breaker, Steve, and can't remember. I'm sure the prop shaft would need to move.

Thanks bud, I too have broken one & in the process of finishing of another one. I cant remember either?

There's nothing underneath apart from the ayc which is still connected to the rear axle casing, so once that's out the way then I will see what's holding it up still.

I seem to remember two straps looping round the tank bolted to the floor of the car. But don't quote me - that might be a different car!!

I would think that you would need to remove the rear subframe to get it out? Or at least lowering it!

[Humpty's Revenge]

OK I have now got the rear sub frame out & yep you will need to remove it to get the tank out as there is 3 14mm nuts at the front & the same at the back

Unless you can get to the 14mm nuts at the rear without the sub frame coming out I couldn't clearly see.

You don't need to undo those 3 nuts at the back. Only undo the front ones, lower the straps and slide the tank down forward...
