Replacing fuel tank drain plug - 89 Prelude
 

Hi...

I've got a fueltank leak which would appear to be coming from the drain
plug/washer...I've bought the new bits,and I've got the workshop
manual...has anyone got any additional tips for replacement (other than
"don't smoke!!!")

TIA, Ali

Yeah, DONT SMOKE! ;)

Seriously though, the only thing that can go wrong with the gas tank is if
it catches on fire. Smoking is one way to get cause fire, another is
electrical components that might short out (i'd turn the battery off if I
were you), and also be carefuly while you screw and screw bolts because you
might cause a spark that would catch the fuel tank on fire. Other than that,
changing the washer is easy.
