Im going to do that this afternoon. Any pointers?

 

if you don't have another car, buy the hooks that hold the straps beforehand. they always need replacing every time you drop the tank.

 

drop it likes it's hot...

just get a jack and let it down

I didn't have to replace mine.
I would suggest emptying the gas first. It's not real heavy even full and you can bring it down with a jack but it is awkward and will keep you from tipping it. I spilled about a gallon of gas on the ground was laying in it for about 20 min and was high for about 2 days...or so. You can also just plug up the holes I guess...but just do something.
Also, be prepared for the tubes to be hell-hard to get off...make sure you use plenty of rust penatrant.

 

Well this is taking longer than expected. I have it drained, off the 2 straps, exhaust shield is off, now I guess I will have to get to some of the things from inside of the car? Or can I do it all from under the car, just want to make sure If I don't have to get in the car and rip apart the interior I will save loads of time. the hatch a little harder to get to the tank from above then a crx.

 

Make sure you unplug the wiring from inside the car. You will have to get under the rear seats and remove a small panel to get to the plugs (as you may already know). It may also take some wiggling to get the tank to fully drop out. The hardest part will probably be trying to undo all the hoses and clamps, as was mentioned in an earlier post. Good luck

 

UH crap, I know this is a stupid question but how I remove my rear seats from my hatchback? Maybe im an idiot but I pulled up from the front and behind and they didnt pop out... :}

 

If I remember correctly, you need to pop the rear out first, then the fronts. The fronts have clips that hook into slots on the floor panel.

 

How do I pop the rear out, god I feel like an idiot, but I really couldnt figure it out

 

You have to reach in between where the seat backs and the seat bottoms meet. In that crease, you should be able to pull the seat bottom forward or backward, which ever loosens the seat. Sorry I can't be more descriptive....too bad I can't just be there to help you out.

 

yea must be one of those things. Ok I will try then brb brb brb

 

just watch out for the fuel lines. when i dropped my gas tank the fule line was rusted so when i took the botl of, it spun and broke the fule line too. its a bitch and a half to repalce a fuel line

 

Ah done came off ok.. Took me freaking forever to train it, anybody want an old gas tank? Rofl!
