I've got a 76 fj40. The gas tank is rusted and clogs my fuel filter and carb. Can anyone give me some instructions on taking out the tank? I've already drained the gas by removing the plug. Thanks.... davidgray@sc.rr.com

Pull the passenger seat,
Anyone have pictures of the original factory padding that the gas tank sits on (no longer available from Toyota)?
I bought some cheap rubber floor mats from AutoZone for $10. They come with 2 fronts and 2 rears. The rears are just about the right size for under the tank. Minor trimming required. The fronts just happened to fit nicely in the floor, just like they're supposed to.There was not a pad under the tank. Any suggestions? Maybe the rubber sheets ( 1/8" thick) at Lowe's or Home Depot?
I have a good tank waiting to replace my leaky stocker. It's coated with some sort of varnish, not rust. Any suggestions for removing it so I can finally install the good tank? (Sorry for the thread hi-jack)

That's not varnish... its actually gasoline residue or gasoline that has gone bad and some components have evaporated... Leaving gas in an unused car is a pretty bad idea...

That's what I used. The type that is used for roofing with a self sticking side to it. Works great !
