Default Gas tank removal ---HELPPPPPPP!!!

I am in the process of removing my gas tank. The repair manual mentions to disconect any fuel lines, brackets, and electical connectors but does not indicate where these might be. Any help, especially a pictorial would be greatly appreciated. Vehicle is a 1994 Acura Integra GSR.

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

I say that if you cant do the other steps, the last thing you want to do is be messing around with 10 gallons + of gasoline & vapors.... :ugh: leave it to a professional please.

I would pick up a Helms manual. My service manual has a great picture of where everything is, so get one of those for this and any other future projects.

I hope you have drained the gas before you plan on doing anything.

if its the same as my 98 GSR then its really easy.

Here is just a quick run down. If your tank isnt pretty much empty...empty it. There is a bolt on the bottom of the tank. Then take out the carpet in the trunk. Under that should be a metal bracket type thing held in by 3 10mm bolts. Remove that and that gains access to the fuel gauge sending unit. Unplug the sending unit wires.

Go under the car, if you have a floor jack put it under the tank so it just touched. Then loosen the 2 straps holding the tank in. SLOWLY lower the tank until you see the filler tubes, fuel pump wires and various other wires and tubes. Now on the drivers side in the rear is a whole cluster of tubes be sure to unplug everything and slowly lower it. If it hangs up a little, jack it up and look around.

Best bet, go and buy a manual. I have that Clymer (sp) that i got for $16 and its awsome, tons of pictures.

Please be advised that I have completed the removal of the gas tank with minimal surprises. Will post removal procedure for future usage.

Thanks Integra Forum for all your input.

Good to hear. Sorry I couldn't post up the scan of the service manual, but it appears that you didn't need it.
