How do you remove fuel tank from Toyota?

How to remove a Gen 3 gas tank?
Once you have as much gas as possible removed it’s time to take out the backseat and disconnect the supply line. Press the tab on the 5-pronged plug (mine is a 1996 Gen3, others may be similar) and remove it – easy… Next remove the fuel supply line; the large nut is 19mm and the small one is 14mm I believe.
Where to look for a fuel tank leak?
Another place to look for leaks is at the fuel injectors. At the top where they insert into the fuel rail, and at the bottom where they insert into the intake manifold. There are O-rings at both ends that can leak. SO how did you fix the strap bolt that you broke off?
Can you replace the gas tank on a Toyota Camry?
I have a 95 Toyota Camry LE 2.2 4cyl, and I’m considering replacing the gas tank.

All that I find show they come “without seals and filler neck.” I know what the neck is, but what seals were involved?
How are fuel tanks removed from Toyota cars?
The pins that slip into the ends of the straps are essentially welded to the straps due to years of corrosion. This means that the strap can’t be removed from its housing. Toyota apparently designed it so that the pin has to be slipped out of the strap before the strap can be removed.
