suport points

[Finnon]

I need to remove my fuel tank as theres a rather large leak from somewhere. Can anyone advise me where the best suport points are for axle/jack stands. I wont use the factory jack points on the sills as theyve been welded up in the past. Would the rear sub frame be best?

cheers all

I'd just put them on the rear sub frame

Back the car onto ramps? Rear subframe? Rear control arms? Frame rails just before rear subframe? You can use the pinch weld if the person who welded them had any idea what they were doing.

You can drop the tank without jacking it up....
