    Question Anyone Replaced fuel tank on vs v6?

    Ive located a vs V8 Sedan: 73L tank ....from what the wreckers tell me.... and i want to make sure that its the right replacement....ive removed the inner gaurd (to try and see fuel leak) and from what i can see there is the main filler pipe ,a secondary filler pipe and 3 smaller hoses 1 of these smaller hoses looks like a return from the engine..all of these pipes come from off the main filler neck...so out of the 5 pipes in total 1 being the main fill ,1 a secondary fill ,1 a return from the engine...where do the other 2 smaller hoses go...Any help please guys would be greatly appreciated...cheers

    Replace all the hoses when you do it some could be cracked.
    I just replaced them all while the the tank was out.
    ENZED should have all u need.
    I got some not all from GM.
