In this classic Fiat 500, the fuel tank, located in the front compartment, is secured with two metal brackets and their respective bolts. First, however, loosen the bolt that holds the ground wire, then disconnect the fuel line as shown in the video.

Use a flathead screwdriver to remove the gasket if it is too worn. At this point, free the brackets and detach the tank.

To inspect it internally, use an endoscope: unscrew the cap and insert it into the tank. To analyse the tank from the other side, remove the float by unscrewing its bolts.

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.
