To restore the fuel tank of the classic Fiat 500 L, you must first remove it. Open the front bonnet, empty the compartment, unclip the elastic strap, and remove the spare wheel. To the right of the fuel cap, you will find the float contacts; disconnect them and unscrew the earth cable, loosen the clip, and pull out the fuel line, collecting any fuel spills in a container.

Using a socket wrench, unscrew the two bolts securing the tank to the chassis, remove them, and proceed to take out the tank.

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.
