Rusty frame cleanup project.
#21
Alright I got it out. The two blue vents go to the charcoal canister. Just remove the line there for both. The pressure line broke off so I left it attached. I will write up something better after I rest up. Glad it’s out lots of work ahead to get the frame cleaned up.

My frame clean up is turning into a restore project. I didn’t get to the frame this weekend. But I plan to do some this week. I worked on removing the gas tank all weekend (not all weekend but 2-3 hours). It wasn’t bad to drop... it super sucked getting the rotted one out. I ended up having to bend and brake each of the outer edges of the locking ring to get the ring off (if anyone e does this be careful you don’t mess up the ears on the tank that lick into the ring, also don’t go caveman on it and puncture your tank). I emptied what little bit of fuel that was left and started to wipe and vacuum the rust out. I have part of the pump stuck in the pressure line... no idea how to get it out yet (any help? ). I plan to clean it really swell inside and out... I want to paint t the metal parts with same paint I’m doing the frame.
Done for now looking for a way to get the pump part out of the pressure line..

Projects like this tend to quickly snowball into a thousand additional smaller projects in my experience.... I started on my GMC truck just over a year ago with the intention of pulling and redoing the interior, sound deadening, etc. It is still in a lot of pieces. lol

I always thought you just insert the tool on the male side and it pushed the clip out. I can’t tell from that mess and maybe a good cleaning will help you see how it works. I really can’t believe it gets that much stuff above the tank

Mixman is right but you gotta fix stuff that needs fixing or will need it soon. I replaced all my hoses and they still looked good but I just don’t want to get back in there and having the hood off for access I’m getting all I can get. You don’t want take tank down again for 6 dollar part or connection, maybe no 6 dollar parts on a H2. Lol
