Petrol tank removal
Discussion
Looking for info from anyone who has removed the offside petrol tank from a 280i FHC - with body and chassis connected as normal.
1. Is it possible to remove the tank through the wheel arch without dismantling any of the rear suspension.? Wheel removed and suspension hanging on shock absorber but not disconnected).
OR is it necessary to disconnect some/all rear suspension to get enough room?
2. Interior trim has not yet been removed to allow sighting of the arrangement for the filling pipe. Is it necessary to cut a temporary window in the fibreglass to access the filler pipe stub and hose connection or to give room for manoeuvring the filler pipe out when removing the tank?
