Need help
94 AWD
Yesterday fixed broken plug and exhaust.
Start her up and she runs fine ( no sparkplug bits in engine. )
Rev it a little and she leaks GAS from above the tank.
I need help dropping the tank and things to look for

How did you fix the exhaust? Did you watch out for the fuel lines if you were welding/cutting/drilling? All I can think of is a broken hose/cracked tank that would cause that.
Correct me if I am wrong, but I believe there was a recall on the fuel tanks for leaking. Maybe someone else could be more specific.

Drive/syphon the tank so it is almost empty.
Jack up or drive the rear end up ramps.
Unscrew the the bolts that hold the filler neck to the fuel door area.
Using a jack and a 2x4, jack up the tank a little bit to relieve stress off of the tie down straps.
Unbolt the straps, and slowly lower the tank.
Edit: And don't smoke while doing it.

I have not had to pull down on the a gas tank bolt, but I have never pulled a tank off of an Aero either, so it might be normal. Are they really rusty? Is so, you might have to cut them off.
