How to Remove the Fuel Tank From a BMW 325
1. Open the door and remove the bottom seat cushion from the car using the 3/8-inch ratchet, extension and sockets. Unbolt the covers located on both sides of the area underneath the seat using the ratchet.
2. Unbolt the fuel level senders on the sides of the tank using the ratchet. Then lift the rear of the car using the jack and set it down onto a pair of jack stands.
3. Unbolt the rear muffler section from the car using the 3/8-inch ratchet, extension and sockets, then lower it out of the way. Unbolt the driveshaft from the rear end of the car using an open-end wrench.
4. Place the jack underneath the gas tank. Unbolt the gas tank from the chassis using the 3/8-inch ratchet, extension and sockets. Slowly lower the jack to drop it down from the chassis. Disconnect the fuel lines and connections from the tank using a flat head screwdriver.
