When you get the shorter bolts and the tank up where you want it carefull tightening the l bolts that come with the tank/straps. I like things tight and broke the L right off the bolt. Dropped the tank AGAIN welded the bolt better than it ever was and installed the tank AGAIN (I was getting good at it by now.

Good luck

As far as the charcoal cannister, I redid all my lines and rubber hoses and am using it. Venting can't hurt? I still have to go slow filling the tank and my vent line is new, straight, and not kinked?
Just bought a transmission jack from Harbor Freight for a 100, looked at it and thought it could double as a gas tank jack

Thanks for the info, can you take a pic of the fill side of the poly and steel tanks...your so good at removing it, just trying to see what I'm in fir
