Mopar 68166587AD Fuel Tank

The following procedure is much easier to perform if the fuel tank is empty. If the fuel tank isn’t empty or nearly empty, you can siphon fuel from the tank with a siphon kit, available at most auto parts stores. NEVER start the siphoning action with your mouth! Relieve the fuel system pressure. Disconnect the negative battery cable from the remote ground terminal or battery. Raise the rear of the vehicle and support it securely on jackstands. If you’re working on an AWD model, remove the driveshaft and the rear differential electronically controlled clutch. Loosen the hose clamp and disconnect the fuel filler hose from the fuel tank. Unplug the electrical connector in the fuel pump module harness. Disconnect the fuel line and EVAP line quick-connect fittings, both of which are located at the front of the fuel tank. Remove the close-out panels at each side of the fuel tank. On convertible models, remove the two front bolts from the cross braces and move the braces out from under that fuel tank. Remove the exhaust pipe from below the fuel tank. Support the fuel tank with a transmission jack or with a floor jack. If you’re using a floor jack, put a piece of plywood between the jack head and the tank to protect the tank. Remove the fuel tank support strap bolts and carefully lower the fuel tank from the vehicle, making sure no hoses or wiring harness are still attached. Installation is the reverse of removal. Tighten the fuel tank strap bolts securely. Start the engine and check for leaks at any fuel line connectors that were disconnected.
