Warning: See warning in subsection 1.
Note: If necessary, clean the fuel tank and areas adjacent to the fuel lines and fuel hoses to prevent fuel system clogging.

2. Relieve pressure in the fuel system (see subsection 2).
3. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
4. Using the pumping kit (commercially available), pump out the fuel into a prepared gasoline canister.
Warning: Do not suck fuel into your mouth.

5.10. Evaporative emission system vent valve
11. Support the tank with a jack, which is designed to lift the gearbox.
12. Remove the support beam that runs under the fuel tank. Also unscrew the bolts and remove the tank fastening tapes (see illustration).
5.12. Remove the supporting beam (A), unscrew the bolts (IN) and remove the tank securing straps
13. Lower the tank slightly and disconnect the electrical connectors from the fuel pump.
14. Jack down and remove the fuel tank from under the vehicle.
