83 Sceptre Tank removal

[BigLew]

Entourage,

There have been a couple done. I'm not sure the had the boxes like ours (mine is an '85). I think if you measure across the the tank lid from screws to screws and compare that to the tank width itself, you will find that if you cut back the "flash" of the liner, the tank will clear. It won't have much, if any room left over, but it should fit through, albeit a bear of a job. At least that is what I am planning on.

One guy on here disconnected everything, pulled back the hoses so that they were just back under the liner, pulled the sending unit and used a bar inside the tank with a chain welded to the center of the bar to pull the tank. Yes, he wrapped the bar to prevent any sparks!

It apparently worked.
