Netters,

I just dropped my gas tanks today to replace the fuel lines. Pictures are at:

I had run the caoch almost out of gas in anticipation of this project, and pumped only about 2-1/2 gallons out of each tank with the electric pump. My son helped me get them out from under the coach and we were only able to dump another quart or so out of the filler. Nice to know that my pick-ups are so close to the bottoms of the tanks.

A couple of other interesting observations; On the top of the front tank was written "CLAMP LSE" and, sure enough, it was slightly loose. ??????? weird, huh ??????? There was also a little more residue around that filler, but no evidence of a leak bad enough to show up. Also the fuel lines on the tops of the tanks have a GM number on them. Could they be original? Dan G. agrees that they might be. The coach has been in the SW (Texas and Arizona) all of it's life as far as I can tell.

I will post further pictures as I progress.
