The initial steps for removing the fuel tank are to relieve the fuel pressure and detach the cable from the negative terminal of the battery. Then, raise the vehicle and support it securely on jackstands. Remove the fuel tank skid plate mounting bolts and lower the assembly.

It is important to avoid placing the fuel tank in areas with sparks or open flames.

Lower the tank far enough to unplug any vapor lines or wire harness brackets that may be difficult to reach when the fuel tank is in the vehicle. Slowly lower the jack while steadying the tank. Remove the tank from the vehicle. If you're replacing the tank, or having it cleaned or repaired, install the fuel pump or sending unit. Installation is the reverse of removal. Clean engine oil can be used as an assembly aid when pushing the fuel filler neck back into the tank. Make sure the fuel tank heat shields are assembled correctly onto the fuel tank before reinstalling the tank in the vehicle. Carefully angle the fuel tank filler neck into the filler pipe assembly and lift the tank into place.
