If we have a vintage Fiat 500 that we are lovingly restoring, we should not overlook a detail like the fuel tank: a tank that we can buy cheaply could hide poor quality. Remember that the "N" models, those produced until 1960, had a "flat" tank with a capacity of about 21 liters; the "D" versions, produced until 1964, had the so-called "cubic" tank with a capacity of 20/21 liters; the "F" version had a horizontal development tank with a capacity of 22 liters, while the "L" and "R" had the "barrel-shaped" tank, always with a capacity of 22 liters.

The Giardiniera followed the evolution of the sedan, and in all models the tank is located in the front hood of the vehicle. Originally, the tanks had a thickness of 0.8 mm, while now a good tank must have a thickness of 1.2 mm.

How to Remove the Rear Seat of a Hyundai Tucson?

To remove the rear seat of a Hyundai Tucson, follow these steps. Start by moving the front seats to their most forward position to gain space. Next, locate the release lever on the underside of the rear seat, near the floor. Press this lever down while pulling the seat upwards to unlock it from the anchor pins. Once unlocked, tilt the seat upwards and forwards to remove it from its position. Repeat this process for both sides of the rear seat. Be careful of any electrical cables or components that may be connected to the seat during removal. Once the rear seat is removed, the disassembly is complete.
