No problem. Just got back on here to upload a new video and saw that this video had 8900 views! wow. I hope that it helped you.

Thanks Jose!

Awesome. It'll be great to see step by step. Can we also have a quick view on the brake/fuel line routing in this model? I want to inspect rust condition of those lines on my subaru but they are installed behind plate and hard to check without a lift.

@@patrick8622 I will be working on this car again soon, so I'll see if I can get a video of it while it's on the lift

I have posted the video of the 2014 Impreza fuel tank removal.

Hi - thanks for posting the video. Is there an easy way to see if a nipple is broken? I have some slow leakage that shows up on the passenger side protective cover. I pulled the protective cover, but couldn't see the source - it seems to be coming from above the center back. Is that where the nipples are? Thanks!

@@markboehle4667 I'm trying to locate a gas smell source on mine too I have found that there are plastic "fuel cut" or fuel cut-off valves on top of the tank that can crack and allow fuel to escape. Can't see them unless the tank is dropped. I've just begun diagnosing mine, I'm mostly trying to recover from a serious case of the flu. When better in a few days I'll try to see what I can through the fuel pump port under the back seat. I may rent a little camera on a flexible cable to see it more clearly without disassembling the messier half of the car. If I find the leak I will probably cut an access hole in the floor to access the leaking parts. The floor can be drilled with a stop on the bit to prevent drilling into parts under it. I use a piece of small copper tubing cut to length and slipped over the bit to make a bit stop. .After drilling several holes this way insert the drill into each hole bit by hand to feel how much clearance there is between the floor and tank top. If there is enough space to use a hand nibbler sheet metal cutter then it's done. if not the floor pan can be drilled continuously which is still a trivial task for me compared to dropping everything in the rear drive train, brakes and exhaust. Aluminum sheet metal, RTV and pop rivets will be used to reseal the cut hole.

@@markboehle4667 Hey Mark, I am experiencing the exact same symptoms. Did you find the leak source? How did you fix it? Much appreciated!

Good thing you mentioned the nipples, I was about to begin the process of dropping the tank...I'll check the nipples in the morning. Thanks for posting the video, looks like some common issues with the Subaru fuel tank.

Specialized 29er Check the nipples on the back of the tank. Ours has one broken off, which caused the tank to leak. I think that you can fix those without pulling the tank. I would put a screw in the existing hole where the nipple broke off, then T into one of the other lines that's near. That's what we did after pulling the tank.

AeroPR, yeah, I told my son to buy something else, but the price was right... And kids, ya know?

salt kills cars.

@@Marco-qe5zw Exactly! Never buy a used car from a northern state! I live in Indiana and this is as far north as I would go

Personally, if I had to do it again, I would've screwed a tapered screw into the broken-off nipple hole, then install a T-fitting into another, nearby line and put your broken off line onto that T. I hope that is understandable.

Sam Plett - I have absolutely no idea. Sorry.

Tough to say... Having never done it myself before this time, there was a lot of trial and error. For a mechanic (that, I am not) I would believe 10 hours would be excessive.

I was estimated 20 hours for the entire job and that's by Subaru $4,500 all up so I'm thinking with the tank being $1871.00 and $100.00 an hour labour that sound about right. Ours is a 2005 Outback with 50,000 ks so I'm thinking the tanks failed just from being 13 years old and no matter how many ks they've done.

@@specialized29er86 Gotta 2008 Impreza 2.5i with 99000 km on odometer. The nipple from evap line (B) rusted out and I had a fuel smell and fuel dripping down from rear passenger area every time just after filling up gas tank. So I went to a Radiator shop (these guys know how to reweld/braze/tap&thread anything) and they gave me an estimate of 1200 canadian $ + Taxes to drop the tank, completely refurbish it (they also specialise in refurbishing fuel tank), reinstall it and do a leak pressure test afterwards to make sure the job is well done. Now knowing from you post that the Subaru stealership would charge me 4500$ for this job, I'm very glad I went to a radiator shop instead ! 4500$ !!!

where is the fuel gauge sensor? It looks like mine needs replacing..

Just saw this comment, sorry it's so late :( The fuel float is under the back seat. Remove the back seat bottom, there are 2 covers in the floor, remove the covers, the fuel sensor sender is under one of the covers in the top of the tank, the fuel pump is under the other. I hope that this helps someone.

Hey, I never claimed that it was a good video, or that I completed the removal in the video. But thanks for the watch and comment!
