Date? Petrol/diesel? They are different.
Mine (89, diesel), has one pipe from the level sensor's mounting plate,
visible just above the chassis under the NS wheel-arch, and the other
goes to the centre-top-front of the tank. Can't remember which is flow
and return. The side one is do-able in-situ, the top one probably not
easily.
From horrid experience, you'll need a near-empty tank, a suitable small
board (to distribute the weight as you lower the tank) and a trolley
jack, onto which you can gently lower the tank (with its stone guard) as
a unit, and an assistant to man the jack's valve whilst you winkle the
tank out from between the frames. It's very hard to do (may be
impossible) if the (NS) level sensor is still in place, because it
sticks out rather a lot, and there's little enough wiggle room as it is.
There is a short description in the HBOL, and slightly better diagrams
in the workshop manuals.
