Title: xj fuel tank removal
Post by: onoil on April 12, 2010, 05:39:49 PM
what kind of job is it on a diesel xj with towbar please?
looks straightforward but the filler neck seems obscured by the towbar?

the filler neck should have a rubber connection hose with a hose clip. as you drop the tank down more access should be gained to the hose clips

There is aplate covering the filler pipes, held in place by 4 self tappe bolts

You can then get to the hoses at the filler end - so can undo before you are holding the weight of the tank
