I would recommend also replacing the rubber grommet that the fill tube fits in the tank. I tore my grommet in my 94 and had to run all over town on a Saturday for a dealer only item. Luckily, one of the stealers service shops was open so I did get one. We tore it trying to get the tank back up in the car. Go slow and don't force it.
And don't do like we did. We dropped the tank in a garage heated by a natural gas heater. We drop the tank and, amid the gas fumes filling the closed garage, Ryan says "Think we oughta shut off the heater?" My dumb *** is thinking natural gas not gasoline so I says "Nah, the flames is burning all the fumes." About 15 seconds later that light bulb goes off in my head that says, "Hey, wait a minute. Gasoline explodes. SHUT IT OFF, SHUT IT OFF!!" His house is still in one piece, I still have my eyebrows and all is right in the world.
It didn't take us two hours to do it. It's really not that bad.
