Does anyone know the procedure or the easy way to remove fuel tank from a 1957 XK 140. Thanks for your help!!

 

Drain tank, unfasten all lines and wires. unbolt from frame in boot after removing liner in boot. Lift tank out. Be careful of gasoline as draining, no sparks, no smoking, keep in well ventilated area. " Not responsible for any accidents or injuries."

 

When you say "lift tank out" I read that as removing the tank out through the boot (trunk).

Tank drops out through the bottom. My exhaust made it a bit harder but it snaked out OK...

 

Does the boot liner unbolt from the inside if boot or does it unbolt from below. Is the boot liner hard to remove and what holds it in
Thanks

 

About 17 bolts and it lifts right out through the trunk.
It's the panel in front of where the spare tire sits

 

Floorboards and trunk/boot floor on 140 were of wood. I saw some restored and had steel floors welded in, not original.
