You'll have to get straps either from a junk yard or the dealership. If you change one at a time, you won't have to worry too much if it drops a little. You might have a 2x4 handy to prop the edge of the tank.

SOURCE: replacing fuel pump on 2002 sunfire

after the straps are off ,it should drop a few inches about eight or so ,than you should disconnect the two lines beside the fuel filter that run to the fuel pump,than you should disconnect the third one at the fuel pump,than once complete slowly pull the tank to the passenger side of vehicle,it will take a little foce but will come,it really helps if you could get the vehicle up about a foot or more before starting and you should have more than enough room to pull tank and fuel pump out,undo the two plugs than you have to turn the locking plate counter clockwise thats on top of fuel pump to get the pump out and if taking the tank right out disconnect the main line for fuelling

Hi:
Your tank sending unit is bad. Unfortunately, it is part of the fuel pump assembly, and the part costs around $400, give or take. plus installation labor. It is an all too common problem on GM vehicles, as I have had to change it on my last 2 GMs. If you do an internet search you will find plenty of others in the same boat!

SOURCE: What does the oxygen sensors look like in a 2003

There should be an O2 sensor before and after the catalytic converter on your vehicle, so it will have 2 sensors. You'll need a 7/8" open end wrench or an O2 sensor socket to replace them.

It'll look something like this: http://www.carsteering.com/data/all_images/48-01718.jpg

How do I replace the fuel filter on a Chrysler 1997 town and country 3.8 lxi

  • Relieve the fuel system pressure by removing the fuel pump relay from the power distribution center. Start the engine and allow it to run until it stalls. Try to start it again and let it run until it stalls. Repeat this procedure until it no longer will start. Turn the ignition off.
  • Disconnect the negative battery cable and raise the vehicle. Support the fuel tank with a transmission jack. Locate the fuel filter on the top of your Chrysler Town & Country fuel tank.
  • Remove the fuel line from the front of the tank and then the ground strap. Next, remove the inboard side of the fuel tank straps and front T-strap fastener. Lower the tank about 6 inches.
  • Detach the fuel lines from the fuel pump module and then remove the fuel filter. Put the new filter in its place. Tighten the fuel filter bolts to 40 inch pounds.
  • Reconnect the fuel lines to the fuel pump module and reposition the tank. Replace the front T strap fastener and tighten it to 250 inch pounds. Put the inboard fuel tank straps back and tighten them to 40 foot pounds.

    How do you take the fuel tank off to replace the

    Remove negative battery terminal first. Carefully relieve fuel pressure in line if there is any. Then you'll want to drain tank, or at least get it down as low as you can in fuel, remove filler neck etc from tank, loosen straps that hold tank up there, and before you remove bolts on tank straps completely, make sure you remove all lines and hoses from sending unit on top. Once your sure all are removed, place a floor jack or similar under tank, and use a piece of plywood or something between jack and tank, to distribute weight, and help balance tank on jack. An extra set of hands here, wouldn't be a bad thing if you have a volunteer. Remove bolts from straps, and lower tank down.

    Replace fuel pump

    Removal & Installation
    1. Disconnect the negative battery cable and relieve the fuel system pressure.
    2. Siphon or pump as much fuel as possible out through the fuel filler pipe.
    Fuel injected vehicles have reservoirs inside the fuel tank to maintain fuel near the fuel pick-up during cornering or low-fuel operation. These reservoirs could block siphon hoses or tubes from reaching the bottom of the fuel tank. Repeated attempts, using different hose orientations, can overcome this obstacle.
    1. Raise and safely support the vehicle.
    2. If equipped, remove the skid plate attaching bolts, then lower the plate and remove it.
    On Explorer/Mountaineer models, the front fuel tank strap is bolted to the skid plate and will be disconnected when the plate is removed.
    1. Disconnect the fuel fill and vent hoses connecting the filler pipe to the tank.
    2. On vehicles equipped with a metal retainer fastening the filler pipe to the fuel tank, remove the screw holding the retainer to the fuel tank flange.
    3. Disengage the fuel lines and the electrical connections to the fuel tank sending unit/fuel pump assembly. On some vehicles, these are inaccessible on top of the tank. In this case, they must be disconnected when the tank is partially lowered.
    4. Place a safety support (such as a floor jack) under the fuel tank and remove the bolts from the fuel tank straps. Allow the straps to swing out of the way. Be careful not to deform the fuel tank.
    On Ranger vehicles, the rear fuel tank strap has two connections which must be unbolted.
    1. Lower the tank a few inches, then detach the fuel lines and electrical connection from the sending unit/fuel pump assembly, if required.
    2. Remove the tank from the vehicle.
    3d0bd4b.gif
    To install:
    1. Before installation, it would be wise to perform the following:
      1. Double-check the tightness of the sending unit/fuel pump locking ring. If it is already loose, now would be a good time to remove it and check the condition of the gasket underneath.
      2. Ensure that all metal shields are reinstalled in their original positions and that the fasteners are secure.
      3. Be sure that the fuel vapor valve is completely installed on top of the fuel tank.
      4. Make all necessary fuel line or wiring connections which will be inaccessible after the fuel tank is installed.
    2. Raise the fuel tank into position in the vehicle. If necessary, attach the fuel lines and sending unit electrical connector before the tank is in its final position.
    3. Lubricate the fuel filler pipe with a water-based lubricant. Install the tank onto the filler pipe, then bring the tank into final position. Be careful not to deform the tank.
    4. Position the tank straps around the tank and start the retaining nut or bolt. Align the tank with the straps. If equipped, be sure the fuel tank shields are installed with the straps and are positioned correctly.
    5. Check the hoses and wiring on top of the tank. Make sure they are correctly routed and will not be pinched between the tank and body.
    6. Tighten the fuel tank strap retaining nuts or bolts to 20-5 ft. lbs. (3-41 Nm).
    7. If not already attached, connect the fuel hoses and lines. Make sure the fuel supply, fuel return (if present) and the vapor vent attachments are made properly. If not already attached, connect the sending unit.
    8. If removed, install the fuel tank skid plate.
    9. Lower the vehicle.
    10. Fill the tank with fuel and check all connections for leaks.
