DMan Posted October 25, 2004 Share Posted October 25, 2004 Greetings to all! My first post here, but a veteran of Buick Grand National mailing lists and message boards.. Our 'other' car is a 93 Impreza L AWD. Fuel tank is leaking pretty bad, most noticeably when full or near full. Filler neck is also pretty rotted. I repaired it once but it seems to have come back..all full of pinholes. Anyone ever attempt replacement in their driveway before? Anything thats a showstopper?

Setright Posted October 25, 2004 Share Posted October 25, 2004 It cradles over the propshaft and rear diff, so they have to come out :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legacy777 Posted October 25, 2004 Share Posted October 25, 2004 More then likely the filler neck is rusted out, rather then the whole fuel tank. I have a buddy who had this problem in his 95 legacy. There is a plastic cover over the filler neck tube. Remove that and you'll be able to see more clearly at the filler neck. If the tank does need to be replaced, you'll have to drop the driveline, and maybe the rear subframe, depending or not if you can get access to the bolts that hold the gas tank straps on. I've got a few pictures of the gas tank out and some other misc pictures from my awd & 5mt swap that might help www.surrealmirage.com/subaru/swap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMan Posted October 25, 2004 Author Share Posted October 25, 2004 Assuming the neck is the only thing leaking, can I replace that without removing the tank? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legacy777 Posted October 25, 2004 Share Posted October 25, 2004 yup.... there are three screws holding in at the top and a screw clamp at the bottom rubber hose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
