Hi lads

How easy is this? What's involved and how long should it take?

Punctured mine getting car off trailer and I have already repaired it once as it was damage when I bought car

Think I got mine off in about 30 mins. Wasn't hard at all.

You did well,takes me that long to get the car high enough to work underneath it!

Exhaust,heatshields,propshaft need to come off first,then all connections to the tank,then hope and pray that all five mounting bolts come free without snapping.

Takes me half a day to swap a tank.
