Default Re: Fuel filler pipe seal

It has in tank pump and is accessible from the top removing rear passenger seats. Problem with cougars is that the hole on the floor is not aligned with the pump. Many chose to cut open the floor rather than dropping the tank to change the pump. I can't tthink of dropping the tank whilst car is on ground with 65L fuel that is more than 75kgs.

I have seen that thread and many others. I agree that I don't need to drop the whole tank but to drop it enough to clear the filler pipe involves the same things to undo in order to drop it. I can't drop it without a hoist just on stands anyway. My plan is just to lower the tank enough to change the seal.

Thanks mate.
