HI guys just looking for opinions here before I jump into the deep end.

-I have 2 problems my rear brake line started to leak just under the driver seat ( inside the plastic black protective cover) PLus the other 2 lines next to it look like they are ready to rust through!..... I think I have this part figured out but I could use some advice knowledge with my gas tank...



-Well once under there looking around it becomes clear that fill tube and return line for the tank are also ready to rust through so I feel I must drop the tank and repair these at the same time.....


-Does anyone have a picture of the top of the gas tank taken out of a 94 celica GT. I need to know.
-How many lines come out of the tank?


-I know of the pressure line and return is that it? any vent lines?



-Does anyone know of a good place to buy replacement parts for the hard lines coming off the tank and fill tube?



-Can you remove the gas tank by sliding it out sideways and not having to drop the exhaust?



Thanks guys I am heading into deep sh**, I can weld and have a garage to work in but may have to move for work in a week or so, so I am trying to get a head start by asking ahead of time......

I had this problem on my ST a long time ago.
The driver's side rear break line went (same spot as yours) so I replaced the line with an OEM one. From the dealer the entire line from the splitter up front to the hub was about $40. No need to drop the tank if your replacing the driver's side.
The pass side is another story.
My pass side went about a year later and I just patched it. Instead of the headache of dropping the tank and messing with rusted fuel lines I bought a ss braided clutch line from ebay for the celica for about $25,

something like this



I had spare brake/clutch line fittings,
looked like these



used a pipe cutter for the old line, put the fittings on, flared the ends of the lines and attached the braided line. Made sure it didn't leak and I was good to go (after filling and bleeding the brakes).
I also scraped off the rust from the fuel lines and coated them for some better protection and made them last longer.

Or take off the fuel lines from top of the tank and hope you don't brake them, drop the tank, replace with an oem line.
