Don't begin this procedure until the gauge indicates that the tank is empty or nearly empty. If the tank must be removed when full, siphon any remaining fuel from the tank prior to removal. Unless the vehicle has been driven to completely empty the tank, siphon out the residual fuel. Relieve the fuel pressure. Disconnect the cable from the negative terminal of the battery. Raise the vehicle and support it on jackstands. Remove the splash shield from the front of the fuel tank by prying out the plastic clips, detaching the mounting bolts, and removing the shield. Disconnect the fuel feed and return lines. Detach the electrical connector at the rear of the fuel tank. Loosen the hose clamps and detach the fuel tank filler hose and vapor hose. Remove the fuel tank skid plate if equipped. On 1998 and later California models, remove the evaporative emissions canister splash shield and disconnect the hose from the EVAP valve. Position a floor jack with a wood plank between the jack pad and the tank underneath the tank. After supporting the tank, remove the bolts retaining the fuel tank mounting straps, allowing the straps to swing out of the way. Slowly lower the jack, guiding the fuel tank past the muffler and tailpipe, then remove the tank. If necessary, remove and install the fuel pump or sending unit. For installation, reverse the removal process, and use clean engine oil to aid in pushing the fuel filler hose back onto the tank.

Extra caution is needed inside a garage where a natural gas-type appliance is located because the pilot light could cause an explosion.
