P80 Fuel tank drop in 30 minutes V70 FWD NA 1998
Pictures to be added, from the 1998 parts car
I jacked the car up on left side and got about 1 foot clearance under rear, wheels on
I had previously drained tank to about 1 liter of fuel left.
Removed 5 M6 screws and removed Al plate over pump
Disconnect all electrical connectors going through plate and feed through
Levered off two slide fittings, then pop off two fuel lines.
(Note - if you are sensitive to fuel smell, do this last.)
Open fuel hatch - dig out the large (150mm radius) snap ring in the rubber grommet and free the grommet from the fill neck
Position jack under tank (not needed if empty)
Remove two M8 (14mm hex_ bolts from rear of each strap, tank drops
Release clip 'organizer holding fuel and vapor lines
Remove clamp of vapor line heading forward and remove line (pliers work here, VW style clamp)
Pull tank and fill pipe back as unit.
Elapsed time 30 minutes not including draining. I drained by applying 12 Volts to the pump (red/black wires) T2 connector and running front fuel line into a gas can

Re: P80 Fuel tank drop in 30 minutes
Wow. Maybe you should get on a pit crew? Thanks for sharing.
Would this work on a 98 XC AWD? If so, would this be a good start in a way to replace the fuel sending unit, as opposed to cutting a hole in the floor for access to same??

Re: P80 Fuel tank drop in 30 minutes
No, sorry. This is a major McGilla Gorilla project on an XC due to theRWD and shaft
The above is for a FWD Base V70

Re: P80 Fuel tank drop in 30 minutes
I was using a battery charger to deliver about 6 amps to the pump, and I filled a 5 gallon gas can in about 10 minutes, or 2 liters per minute flow

Re: P80 Fuel tank drop in 30 minutes
Sounds about as quick as an XC can go through gas if one stomps on the gas pedal =P
Wisdom requires knowledge as a prerequisite, but knowledge can be developed due to a lack of wisdom.
In order to learn how to fix something, you must first learn how to break it.

I’m not sure new fuel tanks are available but replacement fuel tanks have a issue with a new style rollover, or June Valve, that need to be understood

Even better if buy mine, delivered anywhere in the Northeast except CT. Iowa too.

Only problem with the junkyard route is I hate going under cars on unknown turf.
