im dropping my gas tank tomarrow and i was wondering if you need to unbolt the 4 bolts near the neck of the tank......right where you add the gas, it doesnt look like it will slide out.....another thing....i need to fix my baffle. i was wondering if JB weld could be used or if it would hurt the engine or something else.


i really need information please


thanks

you do not need to unbolt the filler neck, the tank will slide off it towards the drivers side of the car. simply unbolt the straps.

As far as the baffle goes... When the baffle breaks loose. Its time for a new tank. you CANT fix it

there is also one bolt at bottom of filler neck that needs to be removed. it's attached to a strap that goes around filler neck.

agreed on the baffle. no fixing that.

o really...i herd you could weld it back on and it would be fine....why do they break off in the first place? if its welded shouldnt it be a little stronger>?

well yeah i didnt want to weld it so i thought i would use JB weld...its cold so there is no flame or anything..

what's it doing? rattling around in the tank? i've heard it happen to a few people in here. mine's loose but seems to be ok

well im not completly sure till i drop the tank.....some times the car sputters and it backfired really bad n shot flames out the exhaust.....i asked around and they said that the baffle was loose and getting in the way of the fuel pump
