[DeTomaso] Pantera gas tank

[Christopher Kimball]

Hi Pat,
When I bought my Pantera in 2006, it had a slow leak in the gas tank, so I had to pull and replace it.  In order to remove your gas tank, you must first remove the engine and transaxle.  It's much easier to remove both at the same time as one unit, then you can access the gas tank.
I'm going to send your note out to the Pantera forum to see if anyone else has any thoughts; there may be approaches I don't know about.
Sincerely,
ChrisPresident, Panteras Northwest
