'94 xjs 6 cyl gas tank removal
I found some rust in the back of the rear seat... I'm trying to remove the gas tank to be able to weld freely (without fires or explosions)...
I removed the metal latches holding the tank, unplugged the fuel lines under the car and drained the gas out.
when I pull the tank, the lines on the bottom of the tank are on the way... I see no way how to unplug them; there is no access from under the car...
Should I just pull harder? any ideas?
Thanks

some progress
finally managed to remove the gast tank...
I have attached some pics showing the welding (amateur - spll?) and the piece with the first coat of primer...
I think I will apply 2 more coats, then some seam-sealer and finally some paint...
While I have the tank out.... what should I check for? the top-end connection of the fuel lines look kinda rusty, but the rest look ok.....

Hello, I just disconnected the "check valve" that is in the gas tank. It was obstructed and caused a terrible screeching sound that took me several weeks to track down to the check value in the gas tank. I would remove it and clean it out or replace it with a new one. I would also purchase an after market fuel pump and replace the one you have. Check out the deals on e-bay. I purchased one for $47 shipped free and has a one year guarantee. I also would check the sending unit so that you are assured that it doesn't have a short.
