A smoke test confirmed that I have an EVAP leak from one of the hoses running above the fuel tank on my '03. The metal pan and straps that hold up the fuel tank are also hopelessly rusted. What is the best method to disconnect the hoses, vent, wires from the fuel tank so I can drop it? Thanks!
 
There is an access panel under the rear driver side seat. You can disconnect the fuel lines and wire harness for the fuel pump there.
 
Are you replacing the tank or..........?

Most likely not replacing the tank, assuming it is in okay condition. Will repaint it, replace the EVAP lines to eliminate the leak, and remount the tank with new straps and pan. I recently acquired rust-free tank pan and straps from a junkyard.
