evening all
just wondering if its possible to replace the fuel lines that run from the tank sender underneath the car without removing the tank?
I have solid brake lines running up to the tank then its rubber pipes up the side and on top and they're massively perished and leaking - I'd hate to have to take the tank out so wondering if it's possible or if they're pinched in place by the tank?

I nearly done mine recently but didn't need to.
I think if you loosen the tank strap bolts a bit it might give you more play but basically just fix your new hoses onto the old hoses and pull through.
I'm sure

told me they are taped to the tank so need a fair bit of effort ??

If you smart you will connect the new ones to the old ones and than push them out.
I use a small bolt with out the head to connect them.
For me it was easy job
Edit:
And i didn't remove the tank.
