In this video we're going to replace the tank in this '92 Mustang, really the same procedure for any car. Unhook the lines, the electrical connections and then pull the tank. Tools we'll need are pretty basic and in addition to this you will need jack and jack stand we'll need to raise the car up.
If you think about replacing a tank or you have to replace a tank in an older car like this . this is an old Mustang . you really want to consider the tank, the straps and the sending unit. The reason I'm replacing the tank in this car is because it's starting to rust out and it's leaking. I definitely am going to replace the straps because they're going to be rusty. I want to make sure that they don't break. I also want to think about replacing the sending unit because as you pull it down chances are if that sending unit is rusty and the lines on it are rusty and crusty, they may break and just spring a leak. The owner of this car has supplied me with the tank and straps, but no sending unit, so I'm going to try and do it without hurting the sending unit.
The first thing I'm going to do is I'm going to take some penetrant with one of these red tubes and spray like crazy and hopefully I get a lot on to the other end of this bolt and then also the other one that's up over here and then there's another bolt for the fuel filler neck. While we're letting those bolts soak, we're going to take out 5 bolts here. This is an 8mm. You can also use a 5/16th inch wrench. Now, there are four 10mm bolts right up here and even though this car is a little crusty they do come off pretty easy.
Here on the top side, there are three more 10mm bolts up here. Now I'm using a screw driver here, I'm doing the electrical connection at the rear of the car. You can see I'm near at the bumper where the Mustang insignia is. There are two fuel lines up here. I'll do my best to show you how to disconnect them.
The first one has got this little tab in it that you could kind of pry out with a screwdriver and then you can pull it with your hand and when you pull this one off . I'm going to change around here. When you pull this one off you're going to get a lot of gas, so you want to have a catch palm underneath. And then your second one is this one here. What it is, is on two sides is these little tabs and you want to force a screwdriver between that tab and the black bezel here. I'll do them on this side first. You push it really well and work your screwdriver between there and pull that black a little bit and then on the other side same thing, push. Once you push it up there's actually ears up here that you grab on to and then twist and this little white nylon lock comes out and then you have to pull that one off. Then there's your white nylon.
Right here, there's a line right behind the wheel. I'm kind of looking from the other way. There's a line right here. What you want to do is put a pair of pliers on right here, twist it, and then it will pull off.
Okay, so we get our jack, pretty much right in the center of the tank here. That's just the plastic that I'm lifting on right now. We will lift it up pretty good to hold the tank right in place.
Our penetrating oil has had some time but we're not going to be shy here with it. Spray a little more up in there. Same with the other side. These are 13 mm bolts. Let's hope for it to do something good, that it doesn't rust and just break. That looks pretty good. These actually are designed that if they break off, there's just a little clip here and you would ask either a hardware store or Ford to give you a clip that works.
I'm going to speed things up here a little bit and then the other side. Okay, so I'm pleased with that, no breaking. I've got my straps, the tray here and I've got my fuel lines undone, my electrical connections undone, so now I can just star slowly Letting the tank down. Now it's a matter of basically letting the tank down slowly and working that fuel filler neck out.
There's my tank out.

This is part 2 of reinstalling the tank in this Ford Mustang, and again this repair is the same for most vehicles; it's basically disconnecting the fuel lines and electrical connections to the tank, pulling the tank down, then changing over anything you want to change over or installing new items, and then replacing the tank and here's a look at the tools you will need.
Remember I talked about putting new settings in? You can see this is a little crusty here so what I'm going to do is use a cold chisel and a wire brush and clean up around these, here and here. After that I'll figure out where the lock rings are and I'll show you how to undo the lock rings. This can unplug. Once you clean up here pretty good, you can see the little bend over there and then there's a little tap of metal sticking up right there. You want to take your cold chisel or a screwdriver or something and actually contact this right here. It's good to get all three to try and get it going. Now it's moving pretty well. There's the ring, and there's my sending unit on this one. This just pulls right up, the grommet. Grab that as well as this, on this side.
Put the grommet back on, get the sending unit back in here. What is going on? Obviously I'm trying to get as little dirt in there as possible, hopefully none. Okay our new tank comes with a new lock ring and an O-ring so you want to make sure you put the O-ring down in there. The sending unit does have tabs that line up with slots so you can't really put it in the wrong place. I guess you could but you would really have to force it. Put the sending unit down in there, take the lock ring and make sure it's going underneath all three tabs.
Okay so that one is started. I'll do this one; we'll take the old lock ring off. This sending unit is a little fun, okay, how it goes in, so I'm going to take it all the way out so I can sure you here. Like I said, think about replacing your sending unit when you do this. You're going to put it down in. When you get to here, you want to pull it up and turn it around. This is my rubber gasket. So put the rubber gasket down into its groove and here are the spaces of the tab there. It goes down into that slot. Sometimes it can be challenging to get these down in beyond the ears. Put the lock ring on, get it started, and then it's just like taking them out.
Then we'll do that to the other side. Then we've also taken our grommet over here for where the fuel filter goes in. I've cleaned it up a little bit, and we'll put it back in.
Okay so now we want to get the straps out. Basically, you kind of lift up and then probably get a pair of needle-nose pliers in here and get hold of the bolt here and just pull it out. There are two different straps; you want the longer one on the passenger side. Put it up in there, and then push that in there. Same thing for the other side.
We got a new tank. It's all set in the little plastic protector. I put all the pads I transferred all the pads and duct tape and everything. They just help to reduce noise and vibration so we're ready to put it up in.
Feeding my hoses through their clip over here, hook up this hose, pull these hoses down a little more, looks pretty good, hook up my electrical connection. Next thing I'm going to do is I'm going to hold the tank up; these down here. I'm going to put my jack right under my strap. You don't want to be shy with the jack; you want to jack the strap right up in there, and then get the bolt going. Once you got one side, then you can move the jack over to the other side. Then once you got both of them in then you want to tighten them right up nice and snug. It might help you there too. I got a block of wood right up under the strap to help me with that. Okay now we're going to re-hook up our lines so we're going to put this little lock nylon up in there. Put the line up in, bring the lock down, push that up on, and pull the lock down into it. On this one, put it on the filter, push on it nice and tight and then put this lock right through. This one's all set. Tank's tight, connections are hooked up, and all we have to do, is we need to drill a little hole right here and we're going to drill it right on the outside of the weld here. You can see where the weld is right here; we're going to drill it on the outside so we can bolt that back up and then put our bolts back into the filler neck, the four down below, the three up top. Put some gas in it and we should be all set.
