i got into a problem.. i just got my rx7 recently.. and that car is full of rust on the bottom side.. and so low that i cant really put any other kinda jack on the bottom except a scissor jack..

and i already try lifting my car with it and the rust gave in and collapsed...
so where should i mount the jacks to remove my fuel tank?

 

Get some ramps and back up onto them. You could also put the jack on the differential. I've done it many times and have seen the tire shop do it on just about every RWD car.

 

thats the thing.. i dont got any ramps.. and i got flat tires.. i havent gotten any time.. to wrench on my car.. except today.. cause its my day off..

well ill try jamming it on the diffrential

 

if the tires are fubar put some fixaflat in them and blow them up with a compressor. ramps are cheap, but borrowing them is cheaper. Differential FTW.

 

haha.. no they blew out when i was towing it to my house

 

+1 on jacking with the diff. As long as you aren't an idiot about it, it works great!

 

im not stupid.. but.. yeah it worked fine.. i just took out the fuel tank already


but how do i clean a fuel tank now?

using water would of been stupid.. so is there any fluids i should clean the tank with?

 

 

thanks alot that helped

 

Why even bother with a rust bucket?

 

cause on guam.. this is the best i can get.....
its not like in the states.. where rx7's are abundant..

its like totally diffrent here
everyone is into trucks..
and most of the cars that race are hondas, toyota trucks(hardly any supras), nissan 240sx and thats about most of the racing car population

and this car was givin to me from a friend that left off to the military..
hes a rx7 maniac.. so im trying to fix it up for him too
