Got the new tank in, went pretty smoothly.

I drained the tank by running the return line into a gas can and idling the engine, and stopped when I saw the first fuel filter filling with air. It was 1/8th tank BELOW the empty line on the gauge when this happened. I refill at around 1/3rd tank and have never gone below 1/4 and will not change that, but knowing I have that kind of reserve(on flat level ground) is nice.

Six bolts on the skid plate, six more on the tank, disconnect all the plumbing, and it came down and was replaced easily. Still about a gallon of fuel in the bottom of the old tank. Dumped the fuel back in, changed all the filters, primed the system, she started up like normal. No leaks.

Truck seems to run better. Definitely smoother and seemingly more power. New filters had a good effect.

First two pics are self explanatory, the third is the best I could get of the old tank by sticking my phone inside the fuel pickup hole, and the last is the fuel filler port in the old tank. Just covered in flakey rust.

If anyone should need a tank for their Yota and is willing to do some work to make it useable, PM me.

Edit: Oh, and the magnet on fuel filter thing didn't catch anything.
