R33 fuel tank removal

[Revhead]

Hi guys

I need to get the fuel tank out on my 93 R33 GTS25t (2 door). I've done a search on here, searched the web, looked in the handbook that came with the car (useless) and have absolutely NFI how to get the tank out.

Does anyone have access to the relevant pages in a workshop manual, or is there someone here who's done it before and can offer some advice?

Thanks in advance.

its a lot of work to remove the tank . why do u have to remove it ?

i never done before but i pulled one out of a gtir heaps of work though . u shouldnt have to remove it unless its cracked or something .

i should have my car up on the hoist in about a weeks times. once there i can give some advice on how it might be done.

on the subject of fuel tanks does anyone know is the gtr and gts-t tanks are interchangeable ? i read somewhere that a gtr tank is 80 litres against 60? and does anyone know whom makes the tanks for the v8 super cars.

thanks

Hi guys, thanks for the replies.

The tank needs to come out as I've managed to trace a strong fuel smell back to a crack in the tank. From looking at it, it looks like the diff etc has to come out, I was just hoping that there was an easier way to do it

I am also trying to remove my tank, cause from what i can tell the metal brackets insode are rusting and all the rusted metal is gettin in my fuel, is there another way to clean it??

^^yes, take the tank out and clean it out with hot water and caustic soda. . this wont stop any rusting so ultimately you will need to replace the tank with a non rusty one
