  Q: How to remove and install the Fuel Tank assembly in the Ford Bronco II?

  A:

  Ford Bronco II drivers should start with fuel drainage into a suitable receptacle by using a siphon through the filler neck and should remove the drain plug if their model includes this feature. Securely support the vehicle rear and remove the skid plate if one is installed. The ground cable of the vehicle battery needs disconnection first to stop sparking and then separate the fuel gauge sending unit wire from the fuel tank. Start by detaching the fuel filler pipe hose by loosening its clamp and disconnecting it afterward disconnecting the fuel line from the fuel gauge sending unit through the hose clamps. To access the tank vent hose you must support the fuel tank assembly while removing the strap attaching nut at each mounting strap. After that swing the strap down and lower the tank. Cut the connections between the top tank ventilation pipe and the fuel container-to-separator plugs. Extract the under-vehicle fuel tank and lower it to a proper working position. The installation process requires placement of the tank forward edge at the frame crossmember followed by both vent hose and fuel tank-to-separator tank line connections. Apply the mounting straps to the tank then install attaching nuts with flat washers before distributing even tension across them. Install and tighten the hose clamps to the fuel gauge sending unit before installing any drain plug present. The installation process requires connecting the fuel gauge sending unit wire followed by the skid plate installation with mounting nut tightening if applicable and connecting the filler pipe-to-tank hose with its hose clamp and finally completing installation by reconnecting the vehicle battery ground cable. Check all tank connections for leaks after filling the tank before performing the vehicle drop.
