  Q: How to remove and install a fuel tank on Nissan Altima?

  A: The following procedure is much easier to perform if the fuel tank is empty. Drain the fuel into an approved fuel container using a commercially available siphoning kit (NEVER start the siphoning action by mouth) or wait until the fuel tank is nearly empty, if possible. Remove the fuel tank filler cap to relieve fuel tank pressure. Relieve the fuel system pressure. Disconnect the cable from the negative terminal of the battery. Raise the vehicle and place it securely on jackstands. If there is still fuel in the tank, siphon it out from the fuel feed line. Remember - NEVER start the siphoning action by mouth! Use a siphoning kit, which can be purchased at most auto parts stores. Remove the exhaust pipe. Disconnect the hoses and electrical connector from the fuel tank. Disconnect the parking brake cables from their brackets. Move the cables aside and secure them in place with wire. On 2011 and later models, remove the rear stabilizer bar. Remove the fuel tank shield. Disconnect the lines and wiring from the Fuel Pump module at the top of the fuel tank. If desired, the fuel pump module can be removed at this time. Support the fuel tank with a floor jack. Position a wood block between the jack head and the fuel tank to protect the tank. Remove the fuel tank strap bolts. Remove the tank from the vehicle. Installation is the reverse of removal. Reconnect the battery and perform the necessary re-learn procedures.
