the panhard is what gets in the way, otherwise easy peasy. mine was still connected that why i had difficulty i can see

98's have a metal tank. never needed to remove the axle. loosen shock and trackbar and lower it a little .

Same here. My 95 gave me a little bit of a harder time than my 84. But I'v had them both out. Just by taking off the shocks at the botum mounts, and the panhard bars. Both had one peice tanks.

trust me on this check if your tank is one or two pieces before you decide to drop the tank otherwise you have to cut the filler neck or take out the rear.

yep mine also is a one peice and can get it out very easy without cutting the filler neck. you musta just been doing it wrong.. lol

How hard is it to convert to an external pump, and whats involved?

its not hard. just all depends on the pump you want to run. its not exactly cost effective for most people though. for just your everyday street car like 95% of the cars on this site. i dont think its worth it. but you basically need to buy the pump, filters, your fuel line preferably braided line, and a bunch of AN fittings to do it right.

It's easy you just gotta get the tank sumped, then mount a fuel pump close to the tank and in a Safe spot. Then hook up your lines to it then done!

It's really simple

you dont even need to sump a tank on a thirdgen. the way that tanks are designed it already tips back so the whole back acts like a sump. here is a pic where u cant really see it but it just has a bulkhead fitting coming out without a sump into a 90 and then into the filter

gary yours must have liked you, mine was no where near coming out without the rear in

Mine is a one piece also and it will come out with the rear hanging as low as it will go, but it takes alot of jacking around and just the right combinations of moves to get it out.....maybe a slight tweak to the neck too

NO you Don't. Mine has a one piece filler and I have had it out several times. Its true its not as easy as the 2 piece filler, but it will still come out in one piece with out taking the rear out.

i know im just telling everyone in general

I'm not dropping the tank. I'm using the trap door that was already in place. Thanks for the concern though.

It's a TPI. That being said THANKS for the heads up about the 46 baseline psi. I would be mortified if my car turned into a fireball. What will I need to use a union, etc?

Compared to, literally, 15 minutes.

think labor time is 3 hours to drop tank and replace pump
