So I seen that there was a lil moisture around the fuel filter. I think on of the lines are rusted. Can it be replaced with hose. And should I use fuel injection if I do?? |

The fuel tank is easy to drop. 4 bolts and the filler tube hold it in. Run hi-pressure rubber fuel line from the tank sender to where you need to go. |

Just be sure when your putting it all back not to pinch the return line. |

Hoses work fine. I double clamped at the tank.![]() And added split loom cable guard to better protect against abrasion. |

The wires are quick disconnects, when you drop the tank you'll see some bumps in the connectors, press the bumps down with a small screw driver and push out carefully to avoid breaking them. |

Ok so the passed two days I have put newer seats in and then I realized that the rear was alil diffrent. So I took a razor blade and trimmed the foam off the bottom and made it fit. Then I put the front and rear sway bars on and then put the rear hatch with defrost. And then lastly I Droped my fuel tank and fix the lines. So the lil srt 3 has seen some love |
