ps2cho, according to the Haynes Service Manual:

1) Depressurize the fuel system and disconnect the battery.

2) Label and disconnect the supply, return and vent hoses.

3) Unhook the rear section of the exhaust system from its mountings and temporarily support it on wood blocks to avoid straining the joints.

4) Disconnect the wiring from the fuel sender guage at the connector.

5) Support the underside of the fuel tank using a trolley jack and a block of wood to prevent damage.

6) Unscrew the nuts and remove the support bar from the rear of the fuel tank. Similarly, unscrew the nuts from the mounting brackets at the front of the fuel tank. Recover the washers and bushings.

7) Lower the fuel tank away from the underside of the vehicle, making sure that nothing remains connected to it. Revover the padding strips if they are loose.

8) Unscrew and remove the fuel strainer from the tank, recovering the O-ring seal.

Reinstall the fuel tank by reversing the removal procedure, noting the following points:
a) Use new self-locking nuts on the fuel tank mountings.
b) Ensure the padding strips are refit correctly.
c) Ensure the sender unit wiring plug is securely reconnected.
d) Test drive the vehicle and then check around the area of all disturbed components for signs of fuel leakage.
