Disassembly of the fuel tank of the Fiat 500L 1970.

Model: Fiat 500 Epoca - Years 1957-1975
Part: Checks and maintenance

To proceed with the restoration of the vintage Fiat 500 L fuel tank, we must first remove it. To do this, we open the front hood, empty the compartment, release the elastic strap, and remove the spare wheel. To the right of the fuel tank cap, we find the contacts of the float, disconnect them and unscrew the ground cable, loosen the clamp and remove the gasoline tube, collecting any fuel leaks in a container. Using a socket wrench, we unscrew the two bolts of the brackets that secure the tank to the floor, remove them, and proceed with the removal of the tank.

How to Open the Bonnet of the Citroen C3

A seemingly simple task that can be quite puzzling on some models is opening the bonnet, as each vehicle has a specific mechanism for this. In this model, you will find an orange lever at the bottom behind the small glove compartment in front of the front passenger seat. Once you pull the lever, you can then fully release the bonnet by also disengaging the internal safety lever, located just above the manufacturer's logo by inserting your hand between the gap of the bonnet and the bumper.
