Cerb Fuel tank fuel line access

[Erich Stahler]

I need to locate where the fuel hoses enter and leave the fuel tank on a 96 cerb 4.2, it looks to me like I need to tear off all the glued on carpets and actualy remove the tanks to actualy get to them as I am guessing they are sanwiched between the bulkhead of the rear seats and the tank, is this correct?

At a guess I'd say you have 2 choices;

1. Remove the fuel tank
2. Find where the return feed goes through the body to the tank (to the rear of the diff from memory) and cut a hand-size hole in the body so you can your hands onto the back of the tank. Naturally you'd need to re-glass the hole afterwards.

Neither is particularly easy though

ETA: Are you planning on upgrading the feed from the tank to the pump and the pump to the filter as well? If so, then tank out would probably be the best option.

I don't know where they are (I don't even know where the tank is on that model) but have you gone underneath yet and followed the pipes along to see where they go? It would be extraordinary if you had to chop holes in the bodywork just to get at a fuel hose.

here's some photos when mine was taken out end of last month. if you have excessive smells of fuel, get your tank checks. mine had 3 hairline fractures.

Fractures in the tank? Not seen that before.

Hi Dean,

would you mind posting those pics again as the links seems to be broken?
