Supposedly I have a 1980 FJ40, but a while back it was suggested that it might be a 1979 by an acquaintance.
I'm trying to find a replacement gas tank, as mine is full of rust - I have a cheap fuel filter in line before my fuel pump and it regularly gets full of rusty particles.
I want to get a tank with a return line already on it so I don't have to have a port fabricated after purchase - going to hook up a wix filter with a third nipple to deal with the excess pressure coming from my electric fuel pump.
Questions -
I would like to be sure I order the right tank for my possible Frankenstein truck. Can someone help me verify this will work for both fit and return port?
Secondly - I'm going to take this to the local Toyota dealership to have it replaced - I had a guy that was going to do work for me but he's clearly too busy to fool with it. I want to have my fuel pump that's in my engine bay moved to a better location but still in an easy to locate area so I can replace it when it fails. Can someone describe where I need to put it? Should this be done at the time of the tank replacement or is this a job a guy with zero car maintenance skills can do?
