Fuel Tank Now Off; New Fuel Tank Question Though

Well ive disconnected all the pipes (broken a bit on the top of the tank, hoping i can swap this with the one off the porous tank) and taken out all 3 bolts holding the thing in, and its only dropped at the back, for some reason the front of it is still hanging, can anyone think why this would be? need help before it gets dark if possible

EDIT: Got it off, missed 2 nuts only realised when i saw the pics out of camera... Anyway new question, see bit further down page

Kev says, have you missed a bolt?
Or is it hooked on?

not missed any bolts, cant see it attached anywhere except the front of it (the side facing front of car) is still in place with where its bolt goes, even though the bolt is off

u taken the pump etc out?

unplugged all wires and tubes

is just holding on the front somehow (where 1 of the bolts was, still holding there for some reason)

If in doubt give it a clout!!!

Please not i will not hold any responsibilty for any sparks that may be caused!

That be a porch then!

not really, will show u a pic sometime lol

*points to drawing* the thing labeled as #4 is broken the bit that sticks out slightly has snapped and the bit of it that sticks out is in the hose that pulled off of it (well and pulled it off too lol)

anyone know if this is removeable? as if it is i can use the one off the red 'un

yay got it off, go me

now need to buy some snips that will cut through a hose clip and im away, anyone know where i can get snips that cut through a hose clip? lol

Use tin snips or very strong wire cutters as the pair ive got seem to be stronger than alot of tools.

Just to point something out, I bought my Cinq approx 3 years ago. Upon buying it, I found I had a fuel leak. I did a search on the web and it pulled up a factory recall that had gone on years ago. I called Fiat UK, and gave them the VIN number, and they said take it to a dealer, and they swapped it out free of charge. Dunno if this is completely off topic, just thought I would share it

dead valid, but the recall has now closed unfortunately. I've detailed my dealings with a certain local Fiat garage over this before, so won't go into detail. Formal complaint was lodged.
