Need to replace the fuel tank in my 1994 Country, are there any special tools required for the lines. Any other hints or tricks would be helpful also. I do plan on replacing the tank with a new one. I've had this vehicle for 5 years and at 240,000 miles the engine/drivetrain is still strong, just the Minnesota winters have been brutal on the undercarriage.

 

Basic ttols and a floor jack. Easier if tank is empty.

 

if rust is a problem plan on cutting the j bolts it will save you a ton of time. Also I unscrewed the plate that holds filler neck so I could deal with the hose clamps on the tank instead of the ones on the neck (I could not get the hoses off the neck). If you do it my way you will need a friends help to hold the neck while you push the tank back on the filler hose. oh and have a piece rope or hose to pull the filler neck back on the mounting bracket when you are done.
