Disconnect battery, drain it (plug rear corner at rear), remove driver seat base, remove sender and fuel pick up pipes

Loosen retaining bolts and prepare for a lot of swearing and shaking of the tank - it will come out but can be a bugger!

Go downwards and take the sill off, it's easier. Getting the new one in is harder.

My old one was a bitch to get out - took me 2 days The new one was fitted within an hour. Went on very easily.
