So finally changed my leaky fuel tank. First of all removal is the hard work.

1. Remove fuel lines from tank accessible from boot.

2. Jack car up high and make sure car is stable on axle stands on both sides. 

3. Remove wheels and disconnect exhaust,abs sensor,fuel filler neck and breather pipe. 

4. Put jack on rear subframe 

5. Disconnect suspension from wheels. 

6. Lower subframe very slowly using jack while keeping it balanced until it's on ground.

7. Loosen bolts that hold straps on top of fuel tank and disconnect breather valve on top. 

8. Remove tank and change over breather valve and fuel line connections.

9. Place back in subframe and bolt straps back into place. 

10. Jack up subframe slowly raising while keeping balanced. 

11. connect breather valve and raise in place so can reconnect suspension and subframe. 

12 . Reconnect abs sensors and filler neck and breather hose.

13. Put wheels back on and reconnect fuel fines then just add fuel.

Only took 2 hours 40 mins which surprised me even more. Everything came off easier than I thought

You're a braver man than me Rabby, no way would I attempt that myself so fair play.  At least you know the tank isn't going to leak again, so happy days.

Everything corrodes in the uk and it's soooo annoying. Haha had help from my old man. Even he was surprised how easy it was as we thought everything would be ceased but a bit of wd 40 and we were jamming
