I need to remove the fuel tank from my 1989 XJ6. My issue is... how do I disconnect the fuel lines from the bottom of the tank, without removing the rear axle assy?

There are circular clips that have one flat side that lays in a groove and locks the hose in the tank. They are shown in the attached picture. In reality, they can be rolled around about 90 degrees to release the hoses, yet left on the tank. You just need to be careful they are not lost.

Cheers,
