My brother wanted to give up, but I am very determined and wanted not leaks as veg oil finds its way to the ground. I just ordered a few of the locking brackets as a couple of them got egg shaped! I'll let merc know they should have sold me that tool. We did do the retorquing procedure as Dieselgiant did mention this.

You would not happen to have any sage advice on removing the tank? There are 4 bolts in the trunk. Had these out and hoses below disconnected, but it would not budge. I yanked on it a couple time with my feet on the strut towers. Gave up. I want to add something called a hot rod for vegoil pickup. Take a grinder to a flat portion on the side of the tank and make a hole where I can attach a plate with the rod going along the bottom of the tank. There is an adhesive that will get that job done. I think that tank (since it pulls up through the trunk) may be difficult to work with for this. I'd love to do it in place, but I'm thinking the tank is above the rear axle and not easily accessed from below. Might be a way to get to it by cutting through from under the removeable rear seat. Sounds like fun, no? I need to crawl under the car again soon.
