Has anyone ever dropped the fuel tank of a '79 if so how do you get to the in-tank screen; I can't figure it out, and does anyone know where to find a diagram of all the fuel lines, I would like to try to clean it up a bit since I'm switching it to fuel injection, if possible.



Thanks, in advanced

 

Anything is possible.Isn't your tanks pump mount outside the tank?It should be fairly easy to swap in the SE pump.

 

I changed a sending unit / pick-up assembly in a 82 GS I am not sure this is what you mean ,but it is on top of the tank and has 8 or 10 machine screws holding it in. I had a bad time with the screws and finally drilled and tapped them out replacing them with something besides philips head screws. I also had to make a gasket to seal the unit to the tank, it was fairly easy just don't try it with over a gallon or so of gas, it gets hard to handle real quick with any more in it. Hope this helps, good luck.

 

yeah, once you get the tank out of the car its self explainatory.

Here is what it looks like all of the hoses aren't all together with the sending unit

 

ooo thats ugly, can you put a later tank in there?

This is where the normal sending unit and pick up is but this thing has no screws instead it seams almost to be welded with a rubber ring then the plastic pick up????

 

here is the sending unit is this where i get to the in tank pick up screen??? believe it or not this tank is only about a year old

 

maybe if you take the sender out you will be able to see it? oo idea 79-80 part diagram scroll down to section 42 (its like halfway)

Damn I would swap a 81-85 tank in there if possible.I have to test my sending unit for the guage too.At least the newer tank is easy.Just unbolt the side plate next to the drivers side wheel then unscrew the sending unit assembly. :bigthumg:
