Under tank fuel lines, Best way to get to them Options

[Pakis]

I am going to replace all the rubber fuel lines on my 75 1.8 and before I get to it was wondering if anyone has any helpful tips.

Assuming it's set-up like a '73, I'd just plan on pulling the fuel tank. It's miserable trying to reach in that little opening with gasoline running down your arm, into your armpits, onto your face, etc. Sure, it can be done but why torture yourself? Removing the tank is only intimidating once. Run it low or drain it and have a helper when you lift it out and in. You might get away with just pulling it up a bit and wedging something (like a piece of 2x4) so it stays put. Anything that let's you do the work from the top is a good thing. A stick to prop the front bonnet up as much as possible is handy. While the tank is out you can clean out all the leaves and grunge that have accumulated underneath and generally see whats up under there.

Check over at the pelicanparts site in the tech article section. IIRC there is a piece on removing the tank. Have fun!
