Yay fuel tank back in. It wasn't too bad even single handed on jackstands. I taped the fuel pump electrical connector near the fuel sender unit so it would definitely be at the right place to connect inside the cabin (good tip I found on mr2oc, imagine dropping the tank again because the wiring got caught up near the pump
). I replaced the small fuel hoses and clips. The part number is in the picture but it is just normal fuel hose, the official toyota genuine replacement part isn't even the correct length, you have to trim it, save money and don't bother, generic will be fine. Just for fun I jumped the pump with the battery before putting the tank in the car. I put the jerry can at the feed line to check fuel came out. I almost cried for Marty on might car mods when he found his feed line was blocked after putting the tank back in his mr2. Pump dead on arrival would also be tragic.

And the current state of the engine bay. Still waiting on fuel pressure regulator and one last fuel hose before I can finish putting it together, delete the fuel return line and put the new heater hoses in. After fixing the heater hose hardlines that were leaking at the bracket I found the fuel tank must rest right up against them as there is zero movement with them now.
