Sweet! I'm suprised its not raining up there, been pouring here since Monday......

I'm going to do mine soon too.. How long did it take ya?

it has been raing the last 8 days strait here. I guess it was raining in Portland (20 miles south of here) all day today. Wasn't really nice, mostly cloudy but the roads were dry. Supposed to rain the next 10 days now. Glad I got a decent afternoon to get this done. It took me about 1 1/2 hours total labor time to get the tank dropped, swap the valve for the 3/8 fitting, and put the tank back up. one major thing that helped in not making a mess, is I put the back up on ramps, started it, pulled the fuel pump fuse and let the car run on the decline angle till it died. It sucked all the fuel right out of the lines, so not a drop of fuel when I disconnected the tank from the filter. screw the whole shrader valve thing, that still leaves tons of fuel in the lines to make a mess. Over all strait forward job. The only PITA was trying to finagle the tank towards the drivers side to get the filler neck out of the tank itself. As someone stated in my other thread, make sure you feel all around the tank before lowering it to make sure the EVAP lines are out of the retaining clips. Also, as per recommendation, I undid the tank side off the fuel filter and dropped the whole line down with the tank. It's not mounted to anything else besides the pump outlet and then right to the filter. Oh yeah, most important, MAKE SURE you get as much fuel out as possible. Some told me to make sure that there was less then 1/4 tank. I ran mine down to just over the red empty mark. there was about 3 gallons left in the tank from what I could tell after filling the tank during the test drive. I'd recommend getting it ever lower if possible. It was still a bit heavy when I dropped it.

when i took mine out, i was amazed on how fuel can even flow through that thing LOL!
