Gas tank removal on a 87 Gl-10.


Recommended Posts

drop the mustache bar which supports the rear diff. Then drop out the tank which uses 6 - 12mm bolts and then remove the lines. I had to do a gas tank swap on my RX a little over a year ago. The tank from any EA82 either 2wd OR 4wd will work on a 4wd;)

you will have to jack up the passenger side rear of the car. remove the back wheel and there's a plate in the fenderwell which is the access panel for the filler neck connection in the top of the tank. I would also recommend getting all new hose clamps for the connections because this is the LAST place you want a fuel leak from. And besides, trying to get some 20+ year old hose clamps off are a pain in the butt.

 

would a gas tank from a 86 GL 4wd wagon fit in a 2wd 91 Loyale sedan?

 

yes, 2wd or 4wd, it doesn't matter since they all have the same dent in them for the rear diff.
