Has anyone on here removed their tank on an S13? I am going to get the rust on the floor fixed and I need to drop the tank. How much work is involved?

It’s really easy dave. All you have to do is remove the fuel pump, so you don’t damage it. Undo the filler hose, and fuel lines. Then remove the straps holding the gas tank in place. I might add, you may want to siphon the tank out first so it’s less heavy.

Quite easy, just pop the pins out to help the straps swing.
