• Q: How to remove the fuel tank on 2008 Scion tC?

  A: Starting the fuel tank removal requires first transforming the rear seat cushion assembly while also removing the rear floor service hole cover. The cable connection requires disconnection from the negative terminal while maintaining a 90-second wait time before attempting any procedure that involves Air Bags or seat belt pretensioner components. It is necessary to drain the fuel before proceeding to remove the center exhaust pipe assembly. Take out the five bolts from the No. 1 fuel tank protector and afterward remove the canister assembly. The rear suspension brace lower LH can be separated by removing 3 bolts while the similar part on the RH side requires removing 2 bolts. The fuel tank main tube requires pinching the retainer's tab to expose lock claws before pushing them down to take out the tube from the pipe while checking for debris-free conditions. Using tools should always be avoided when manipulating the nylon tube and do not apply twisting or bending motions. Place the disconnected section inside a plastic bag for coverage. Before pulling the connector of the fuel tank breather tube remove its retainer by pinching it while maintaining a clean workspace without scratching the parts. The claw fitting requires separation to access the fuel hose protector and the bolt should be loosened before disconnecting the fuel tank to filler pipe hose. The transmission jack should be used to maintain the fuel tank stability after removing the four bolts and two fuel tank bands.
