If your fuel tank has developed a leak, has been punctured or otherwise
damaged, it will need replacement. This task can be completed by the
average mechanic. Wait and see, and be positive you have safety on your
mind at all times. Gas is highly flammable and dangerous if ignored.
Safety Tips:
Work in a clean, organized area. Clutter can cause accidents.
If you are working indoors, be sure there are no pilot lights or other sources of flame or spark present.
Keep your work area well ventilated.
Be sure to have a fire extinguisher on hand.
What you’ll need:
Fire extinguisher!
New fuel tank
Fuel line
Hose clamps
Proper gas storage container
Floor jack
Wrenches, sockets, normal hand tools
With all of your materials together, you're ready to install a new fuel tank. Don't forget to do it safely!
Before
you can install a new fuel tank, you need to drain the gas out of your
old tank. Be sure you have a proper receptacle to catch the draining
fuel.
Some fuel tanks have a drain cock that will allow you to
drain all of the gas neatly. If you have a drain cock, it will be
located at the lowest point on the tank. Loosen the valve and allow the
gas to completely drain.
If your tank has no drain cock, you'll
have to drain it by removing one of the fuel lines. The rubber hose that
exits the tank at its lowest point will drain the tank fully. It will
either be connected to an electric fuel pump, fuel filter, or to a hard
fuel line that goes to the front of the car. Loosen the clamp on the end
of the line that connects to the gas tank. Pull the hose off and allow
the gas to run out of the tank into your container until it is drained
completely.
Pour the gas into a gas can and store it safely. You can pour it into your new tank!
The
next step in replacing your fuel tank is removing the fuel lines that
connect to the tank. Gas tanks have more than one line. There is a fuel
supply line that leaves the tank at the lowest point and goes toward the
fuel pump or engine. Then there's the large fill tube coming from your
gas fill entry point (where you fill 'er up). There will also be a vent
line to allow pressure to be released when the tank's level changes.
Disconnect
all of the lines going to the fuel tank. It's a good idea to take a
digital camera and shoot the setup before you take it apart. This will
help you put it back together if it gets confusing.
This step won't be necessary on all vehicles. If you're lucky, you get to skip it.
Some
cars have a single beam in the rear. On front wheel drive vehicles, it
will be a suspension beam only, but on rear wheel drive cars it will be
an axle with a rear differential. Inspect your situation to see if the
tank can be removed with the rear suspension in place.
If it can't, you'll need to drop the rear suspension.
First,
disconnect the bottom fitting on your rear shock absorbers and pull the
rear suspension down and away from the dangling shocks.
Next,
support the rear suspension beam or drive assembly at the center with a
floor jack. This will allow you to slowly lower the heavy parts.
If
you're forced to drop the rear suspension to remove the fuel tank,
you've already supported the assembly with a floor jack and removed the
lower shock mount bolts (see previous step).
Next you'll need to disconnect the rear brake lines to avoid damaging them.
Now
remove the large nuts that attach the rear beam or drive assembly to
the frame of the car. With the nuts off, lower the assembly to the
ground using the jack.
Your fuel tank is held in place with two metal straps. These straps hold the tank in tightly and safely.
To
remove the metal straps, loosen the nuts at one end of the straps. They
should drop on their own, but they might be a little sticky. Pull them
down and unhook them from the other end.
With nothing holding it
back, you can now drop the elderly fuel tank. Installing the new is like
taking the elderly out, only the other way around. In mechanics terms,
installation is the reverse of removal.

How to Change the Oil in Your Car from the Top of the Engine
Some cars, including most VW group cars and Mercedes have top mounted
oil filters, which eliminates the necessity to crawl beneath the engine.
This only works if the car does not have baffles between the bottom of the dipstick and the bottom of the oil pan.
Steps
1 Obtain an oil drain pump. These are available at some consumer auto parts stores, and at boater (marine) supply stores. Well-known brands are Pella and Topsider.
2 Obtain oil, filter and tools for removing oil filter.
3 If this is the first time and you hadn't verified that a topside oil change works for your car, obtain a drain pan. A disposable roasting or flat gallon (4 liter) coolant container will do.
4 Remove the oil filter. There's information on this in Change the Oil in Your Car.
5 It's best to remove the filter first unless you're familiar with the car. The reason -- it's possible to be able to drain the oil but not be able to remove the filter. On the other hand, if you can remove the filter, it's unlikely you'll have a problem with draining the oil.
6 Insert the topside pump's tube into the dipstick, gently feeding until it hits the bottom of the oil pan. Do not force beyond that point; otherwise the tube will turn upward. Use the drain pump per the instructions.
7 If you are unsure of the suitability of the topside pump for your engine, open the oil drain to see if any remaining oil can be drained the conventional way.
8 Replace filter, replenish oil.
Tips
The first few times, it helps to have a knowledgeable friend watch.
Oil disposal varies depending on location, including curb-side pickup, central receiving locations, and automotive stores and service stations. (Waste oil is a toxic waste material, but is economically recycled.)
Many municipal drop-off locations have limited posted hours but are unofficially open 24/7 for individuals who want to drop off oil without taking a day off from work.
Some cars have baffles between the bottom of the dipstick tube and the bottom of the oil pan. This is checked by opening the drain plug after using the topside pump.
Topside oil changes mean you don't automatically inspect under your car. Make it a habit to look under there during each oil change.
Unlike conventional drainage, topside oil changes are best done with the oil warm but not hot. The hot oil makes the tube too soft, allowing it to collapse and making it difficult to determine you hit the bottom of the oil pan. Cold oil can be drained but can take considerable time.
Warnings
Be aware of the heat of some parts of the car that you'll be working around. No-one likes to get burned.
Never, ever work under a car that is up on a jack. Jack the car up, then put it on a jack stand.
Do NOT over tighten the new filter. Tighten it by hand only, DO NOT use a filter wrench -- except by following instructions on the oil filter package.
Be definite you have the drain plug in and filter attached before adding oil and beginning the automobile.

How to Filter Waste Auto Oil
The American Petroleum Institute net site says, "If you recycle gallons
of used oil it can generate electricity to run the average household for
24 hours." This is an impressive statistic. By consulting Earth911.com,
or similar sites, you ought to be able to finding a local middle that
will take used auto oil for recycling. The safest way to recycle your
oil is to take it to of these centers. However, in the event you need to
recycle some of your own oil for personal use, you can tidy and filter
it to a standard suitable for use as lubrication.
Instructions
1 Catch the waste oil in two or three clean plastic gallon containers, or however many are necessary to hold all of the waste auto oil from the vehicle.
2 Leave the containers to stand in a cool, dry, environment for around a month. A workshop or garage area would be ideal but, wherever you leave them, make sure that they are clearly labelled and out of the reach of children.
3 Pour off the clean, clear, oil from the top of each container into another clean, dry container. Pour the dirtier oil into one of the used containers. That can now be given to an oil recycling center. Wash the dirty plastic containers out thoroughly, using as many applications of dish soap and hot water as necessary to clean off the oil. Rinse and dry the containers before storing them to use with your next lot of waste oil.
4 Filter the cleaner oil that you are left with through a muslin cloth. Stretch a piece of muslin over the top of a clean bucket and secure around the edges with pegs so that the cloth is reasonably taut across the bucket. Pour the oil slowly through the muslin. Force the last bit of oil through the muslin by removing it carefully, keeping the sides turned up so no dirty residue falls into the clean oil. Squeeze the muslin gently, until all the oil has gone through, but not so hard as to cause any rips or tears. Use the filtered oil for lubrication purposes such as oiling chains or door hinges. Don't burn the oil as there may be chemicals, that have not been removed by filtering, that will create toxic smoke.
Tips & Warnings
Take care not to spill the waste auto oil, but If you do drop a little on the ground, quickly cover it with cat litter to soak it up. Wrap the cat litter in newspaper and dispose of through your refuse disposal service. Confirm with the disposal firm first that this conforms to their rules.
The Agency for Poisonous Substances and Illness Registry points out that; "The EPA and most states have developed regulations regarding disposal of used oil, its recycling and burning it as a fuel." So, in case you do pick to filter your used auto oil to re-use yourself, check that you are not breaking any state regulations. To be on the safe side, use your recycled oil for lubrication purposes only, and avoid burning it to eliminate health risks from poisonous smoke. Alkyl benzene compounds that are present in waste motor oil are not eliminated by filtering alone. These compounds are carcinogenic, so you would not require inhaling them through the smoke made when burning waste oil.

How to Dispose of Waste Oil
Anyone
who has changed their own oil has probably had trouble deciding how to
dispose of it. Waste oil must always be recycled. Oil can have
devastating effects on the environment if improperly disposed. Waste oil
can be reused for other applications. Learn what to do along with your
waste next time you modify your own oil.
Instructions
1 A funnel can prevent spills
Transfer the oil you have collected from the vehicle into a thick plastic jug (milk jug or water jug). It is best to use a funnel to transfer the oil from the drain pan to the plastic container. Be careful not to spill the oil as you transfer it. The smallest amount of oil spilling can have negative environmental impacts, such as harming plants or animals.
2 Oil recycling
Find an authorized used motor oil recycle center near you. The locations serve as agents for refineries. The refineries will clean the waste oil so it can be reused for other applications.
3 Take the waste oil to the recycling center of your choice. The agent will pour the waste oil into a collection tank for the refinery to pick up. You can also usually give the refineries your used oil filter for recycling as well.
Tips and Warnings
Use tape to secure the lid of the plastic jug while you are transporting it to prevent spillage.
