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
