Nice job Hooter! Seriously , NICE JOB!
Where are all the photos of the Hutch Mod. that you must have done?

Did you get any indication of what might have been the way that blue clip was (supposed) to be removed after you had it out?
It seems likely the answer is no from your post above but just wondering if you had some thought?
Special tool or maybe just 2 small straight tip screw drivers? Or is this some clip that has to move laterally with the fuel line and then comes out. When I remove it I would like to (try) to get it out as it's supposed to come off. But will likely also destroy it.

P.S. When can you come to my house and do mine just like that!!!!! LOL DDT

I swear it looked like the quick connect on the sender that i used the disconnect tool on, but for the life of me I just didn't have the room on the pump to try it. I tried pushing that tab, pulling it, even went on the backside and jammed a little screw driver in there too.Then things started cracking on it so I said the hell with it, I'm not gonna put it back on anyway.

Harpoon mod was easy, already had a ratcheting PVC cutter, reached in and felt the pipe on the cutter slid it up as high as I could and cut.
Cut about 4 to 5 inches off each.

One issue I did have was the 3/8 compression fitting cracked the nut while tightening. Didn't even get 1 full turn in after hand tight. Both sides.
For those who think I over tightened, when I unscrewed the nut, I was still able to get the ferrule to slide off . I just think it was defective.

No.......The HUTCH MOD.!!
Yeah, I get the Harpoon don't seem that hard. Just like to see what other people do for the HUTCH.
Everyone seems to do there own little versions. Just wondered if you did anything different or maybe had any advice that has not already been posted 100 times so far about how to do it....LOL DDT

No, nothing different. Just a lot of reading on how others did it. I had 1 good floor jack and I found a cheap small 1 in the garage. Used a 4x4 with a 2x6 on top to get it high enough to support the tank to lower it.
