What you mean swapped gas tank? You mean removing FWD gas tank and swapping in a 4WD gas tank?

doubt it he probably has a leak and need to change it
There's another Celi I'm looking to get, it has a bad gas tank. My donor car has a good one, so I can swap them out and fix up the one that I might get and resell it at a higher price.
It's easy, tank is held in by 2 big straps underneath the car. Each strap has 1 bolt and the other end is just linked into the frame. Unplug the fuel pump and remove all the lines from the tank, then remove those straps and the tank will drop out of the car.

If it's full it will be very heavy, so have a cart or something ready to take the weight of it.

Alright, thanks man! That's seems to be pretty easy, I have a floor jack to hold it up and I have some stands to put around it when I lower it.
