hey turbo maybe the foam is glued the tank to bottom of rv ? 2nd the sender unit I think your talking about will be in the tank were the fuel lines go in .. the filler tube should have A rubber coupling to separate it.....also those fuel line hoses don't use rubber spend the extra $ get the Teflon lined hose as the ethanol mix in gas will make rubber lines inc evap leak vapor gas /source car craft , hot rod, and hemmings hope that helps

Thanks for the info. I'll check out those hoses.

The foam may have it glued in. I can see a crack in the foam along the right frame rail where the tank has moved very slightly.

The filler tube does have a rubber coupling, but it's clamped on the inside of the frame rail. The hole I cut in the floor allowed me to get that clamp off.

I'll have to goof around with it some more today.

hey crash pull zee tank why hack the floor up ?:h

also ditch the mech pump get a in line elec pump and regulator free up some hp and don't have too worry about a pump going south and dumping fuel into your motor washing bearings what not:C

I have removed my gas tank three times. It's very easy. I can have mine on the ground in under 30 min. I use a motorcycle jack under the tank and the less fuel the better.

Hey - I have an '84 P30 Allegro. It has a mechanical fuel pump, but the rubber lines at the top have deteriorated to the point where neither the engine nor generator fuel pumps can suck fuel out of the tank. They need replaced.

In an attempt to drop the tank, I removed both straps. The thing won't budge. Is it attached anywhere else? Mines covered in a foam insulation so I can't see if there are other bolts.

Also, it appears as if the tank won't drop down without removing the filler tube, which is clamped INSIDE the frame rail. I cut a hole in the floor and can now get at the clamp, but the lines I need to replace are clamped directly beneath the bathroom door and I can't reach them. I'd rather not hack any more holes in the floor and would like to continue dropping the tank.

Also - where is the sender on a truck without an in-tank fuel pump?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Ok need more help fuel pump is bad having a mechanic changing pump but he said he's having trouble locating replacement pump this is a 33' 1994 seabreeze with a Chevy motor and a 80 gallon fuel tank not sure if he's dragging his feet but wondering if anybody can let me know what the part number is for the fuel pump so that I could possibly try and also locate one

Not sure what kind of mechanic would have a hard time to find a fuel pump for a Chevy P30 with a 454. I would keep a close eye on this clown.

No problem. Rock Auto has what you need. They even show the part numbers.

Saw a guy do this in an S10 pick up but it was hard to not see after the fact. :)

Good point going to try and locate approx area where fuel pump is tomorrow and check to where water tank is also thinking moving that is a better option....FYI my NCAA bracket a looser GO MSU!!!!
