I wouldn't because of the risk of sparks. Use less violent techniques like proper penetrating lubricant or freeze and release spray to free it if possible. If the nut is visible consider a nut splitter... more compact than a hacksaw, doesn't need room for the sawing motion and far less likely to spark.
That depends on you, the hacksaw and your patience. You will probably have to use just the blade without the handle to be able to get to the bolt. It should be brass which cuts fairly easily. 1-2 minutes should be enough.
1 is in the tank. The other is right next to the tank, under the mounting strap bolt.
One end should be bolted. Remove the bolt or nut, replace the strap, reinstall the bolt or nut.
How do i strap a frak tank
spray WD40 ON IT
Unplug sending unit wire. There are two straps holding up the tank.....one bolt in each strap. Remove the bolts. Remove any clamps and hoses running to the tank. Lower it out.
You can get a new srtap from the dealer. it hooks in 1 end & bolt holds the other.
it should be a 15 mm bolt. that's what it is on my 91 cutlass supreme and my 93 beretta.
I just replaced the rear strap on my 94 ranger, 3.0 engine, extended cab 125" wheel base. Basically I removed the heat shield on the passenger side (4 bolts) - if there was a shield under the tank, it was missing on my truck. After the shield was out of the way, I supported the tank with a jack using a piece of wood to protect the tank. I then removed the bolts (2 - one on the heat shield side and one at the rear of the tank) for the rear strap and removed the bolt on the front strap (one - heat shield side). I was then able to push the tank over enough to remove the part of the rear strap hooked into the frame. I then hooked the new strap into the frame and put every thing back together. I used a wood wedge to hold the tank out of the way while I worked and although it was very tight, it wasn't too difficult. I don't believe the front strap can be replaced this way because it's much tighter between the tank and the frame. Hope this helps - Good luck.
you will have to cut the bolt between the tank and bowl (hacksaw blade works well, it will take about 5 min.to cut.) Always change all bolts and change tank to bowl gasket also.
On the tank you will see 2 straps around it,towards the back side (trunk) at the end of strap there will be a bolt in each strap, put a floor jack with a piece of wood about the width of the tank under it , remove the bolts, next using a screw driver remove the hose clamp holding your filler tube to the tank, pull hose off and let your jack down slowly.
There should be three straps holing it up to the body. There is a bolt welded to the end of the strap with a nut. With the tank as empty as possible, take the nuts off and let the tank down. You will have to remove the filler hose, vent hose and gauge wire before you can take it completely out.
