How do you remove gas tank 1965 bug convertible?

Answer 1

the fuel tank sits in the front as the engine is in the back. if you open your bonnet there should be the fuel cap where you fuel the bug on a 65, as later years they were moved outside. there are four bolts in the corners of the tank once you have removed all the carpets ontop of it. they are size 13 metric. the fuel line sits underneath the tank so once you lift the tank up, i would sudgest it should be empty, you can remove the fuel line. there is no fuel pump to worry about as it is a machanical fuel pump mounted on the engine
