Ok... So first thing on my mind this morning was to get the fuel cell in, evap system, old tank and lines out. I spent alot of time today on stupid small things that are just time consuming ... but tomorrow I will have all the bs stuff out of the way.
Well The way I wanted to do the fuel cell didn't work..... I cut a rectangle for the sump thinking it would go through and be fine... Wrong -_- Even though I removed the bracket in the middle of the spare tire well, the dome shape just prevented it from sitting flush of course not allowing the sump to go any further down... (pic below)I thought the sump went deeper for some reason
So.... I marked the dome shape with a marker and my buddy Rob (currently working on his blue Neon) Cut it out with the plasma cutter (never used on before so I didn't want to test it first time on my car lol)
Then the stupid metal bracket that held the evap in place was right in the way of the sump fittings.... so I had to drill then bang it off
Test fitting.... (going to cut a sheet of alum to clean it up near the end)
Thought of alot of differn't ways to mount the pump & Filter but this made me the happiest
Slapped the tank in to see how it looked (nothing tight yet, filter was loose in pic) Also grinded what was left from that bracket
Then I dropped the Catback for the first time since I put it on 2 years ago
Climbed my way into the "back seat" inside ducking the harness bar, harness's and fixed seats to disconnected the pump line, clip and then the level wire for the other side. Out came the tank
So much room
Some pics of the evap / fuel lines on the car
Took the inner wheel well off the driver side to removed the final bit of the pita lines
