Fuel pipes

ANDYKNOWS · Jul 31, 2009

In the process of putting a new floor in the back of the disco. Got to remove the tank, Removed the blanking plate to get at the fuel pump on the tank. Fuel pipe to pump unions corroded solid. Advice needed please.

A VERY good soaking of plusgas overnight should help it no end.

Undo the sender unit and remove the tank without it.

Buy a new sender unit for when, inevitably, the old one leaks

I had the same issue - just cut the fuel lines where they connect to both union bolts and bought a 2nd hand sender unit. Will be painting and waxing the replacement unions though..

why remove the tank, mine was replaced in-situ, just be care full around the tank

I saw a thing on a website, where they replaced the floor using a industrial bonding agent, used to fit wings, supposed to be as strong as welding (if the manufacturers use it, must be good). Also read in difflock that someone rivited it into place. That would save alot of hassle.

it was welded when it was made so in my opinion that is the only way to replace it

That's how did mine, with the tank in-situ

Depends on what state the discos in and how much work you're putting in. I have some major rust issues so have gone for a full restoration approach - remove all bitumen/underseal, degrease, repaint and reseal. This I could not do with the tank in situ!!
