Auction for this car is now live and here rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?icep_ff3=2&pub=5575378759&campid=5338273189&customid=&icep_item=164372223377&ipn=psmain&icep_vectorid=229466&kwid=902099&mtid=824&kw=lg&toolid=11111
This is so cool,ive had dumps on my 91 for about 23 years, here recently i decided to put a brand new complete exhaust in my car and get rid of the dumps,while installing my back pipes i realized "why are my fuel lines so close to my exhaust?" thats when i realized i had dropped my tank like 10 years ago and i did not route them under the strap properly and this video confirms that, since i had dumps it didn't matter where the fuel lines were (at the time) but they sure do now,lol. ill be doing this tomorrow, put a board under the tank with my trusty aluminum jack and just loosen the one strap and put the lines under it, thank you for confirming where i suspected those lines needed to go, great video,something of a tip is before dropping the tank get a steam cleaner or take the car to the car wash if possible and give it a good hose down in the entire area you'll be working on, it helps a lot with cleanliness.
Thanks for pointing out that the new tanks don't have a hole for the ground strap and to skip installing it. Since there's no space to safely drill a hole. I was wondering how I was going to attach it and you guys answered my question.
free tip, that looks like a spectra brand tank or the ones you will typically get most places like lmr. i got one about a year ago and yes very poor edges and very sharp and no hole for the strap. later when i needed a tank for my other fox, i gave a summit brand a try and tons better. no sharp edges, powdercoated, and has the hole for the strap. i would highly recommend the summit one over the others, and it was actually cheaper
Ta da. Good job guys. You all have yourselves a happy Labor Day. I'm going to take it easy myself. Wife and daughter and I are just gonna do hot dogs and what not tomorrow.
202 miles and I am loving it. Lol she basically comes out on Saturday. But I am a car guy so I love w a thing all the content. Look forward to seeing more keep it going brother
Replaced that same stuff a couple of years ago. It’s not fun on your back in a driveway. Thankfully I wasn’t YouTubing then because I ran into a different size fitting on the fuel pump. Had to engineer a fix. Thanks for including some of those details like hose routing and clip removal/install.
Absolutely, sadly I couldn't work on the SSP this weekend because I threw my back out , but still filmed some stuff, coming soon! Appreciate all the support buddy.
I just went through this same exact situation about a month ago. Had to have a new tank, fuel pump, fuel filter and sending unit. Plus I had the rear end oil replaced as well. It was really bad also. Great video by the way
@@peteartussee1202 I have 3.73 in my vert but I also have a 6 speed transmission. 3.55 are in my SSP. I didn't like the 3.73 on the hwy with the 5 speed. Just my opinion though
Man that car is in really good shape, the interior is mint! You should keep it instead of the SSP... it seems it only needs minor engine work and a paint job.
Your guy’s videos help out so much!! I’m working on my 88🦊 sitting for 20Years finally got the Motor to crank but wont stay on I change the fuel tanks also the fuel pump everything new.. only trouble I’m having is to keep the car on please any advice would help!!
Do you guys need to remove the tailpipe exhaust ro install the fuel pump,?i have a difficullt time installing mine .looks like exhaust is in the way .thanks
My fuel tank had a predrilled grounding strap hole.Would it be a good idea to run your own grounding strap, especially with a high power pump? It also came with the insulating pads making it a PIA to put back up. Realizing you are not keeping the car, I Always clean dirty parts before replacing. Sometimes clean and paint. People looking at my 1993 triple white feature car comment on how clean it looks.
Not sure on the grounding strap. If I get a chance i'll follow up with Matt on it. As we need to do the fuel pump in my notch, I know for sure we'll get to this eventually. I'll be cleaning my SSP a bit more when I do it since i'm keeping it.
I know this is a old comment but just wanted to say,most of these cars had a little metal support bracket that went from the tank to the filler neck,its round and it has a "leg" that has a hole,you slide the round part into the filler neck as you slide it into the tank making it "captive" and the leg that has the hole is positioned next to that hole in your tank and a screw goes in there securing the little bracket, thats what the hole is normally for,not a ground strap. When i installed my new tank eons ago my tank did not come with that hole even though it was a premium tank out of Canada, once i realized what was going on, it was already installed and i didn't want to be drilling and tapping anywhere near the tank so i just left that bracket off,been fine without it, besides that little hole on both my 91 and my 89 for the bracket there is no other hole or ground strap anywhere near the tank,congrats on the white feature car,a buddy of mine had one,beautiful cars and very unique.

So nice to have Matt explaining everything in details. Nothing like a cold one after a long day in the shop
Agreed on both counts!

Wasn't aware of that, maybe Matt was, but if I have to get a tank for mine I'll look into it. Thanks Brad.
Another nice tutorial 👍
I'll be looking at the routing of my fuel lines too, I had a new fuel pump in last year. Thanks for the tip
Thanks J PP. I hope yours are routed the right way behind the hanger.

Awesome detailed info! Thanks Matt(s)!

Shouldn't have to on a stock exhaust unless they did something crazy.

Did that tank not have the insulator pads on it or did yall choose not to use them
Didn't have it.
Where was the new tank sourced? Any particular brand built better than any of the others, or does it really matter?
I know Matt sells them at FMR, but not sure where he sourced it from. Go ahead and give them a call if you get a chance. The number is (704) 888-1278.
Bolt broke know where i can get the clip for the strap
FMR might have them. Give them a call during business hours between M-F at 704-888-1278
@@GearHead704 i found the kit comes with straps pins clips and bolts from Lmr thanks
I see that “Scarlet” has a tag/ license from Georgia. What county is listed?
I'm not sure, but the auction is live now, so you can hit Matt and Jenn up for questions if interested. Here's the link: www.ebay.com/itm/164372223377
how long did it take?
I don't remember exactly, maybe 5 hours?
Step one : grab the rotozip
I haven't used one but it looks like. a cool tool.
Why didn’t you clean stuff before you put it back together?
We only cleaned up the components necessary for it to work mechanically, since the car really needs a full restoration and was being sold.
How much would it cost to pay someone to do this kinda work?
Most shops charge between $85 to $105 an hour from what i've seen.
Again
Setting records dude! Let me know if you find the Gecko.🤣
My dorman gas tank won’t fit for shit! Stay away from Dorman and get LMR tanks.
Sorry to hear that, sounds awful.
