[DML] Re: Fuel Tank

[Ben Krasnow <kraz@xxxx>]

The fuel tank is snugged in between the frame bars with foam strips. 
The foam usually hardens up, making the plastic tank *very* snug. Try
spraying some WD-40 or other silicone lubricant on the foam strips. 
Then, slide a long and very thin piece of metal or a long skinny
screwdriver between the foam and the tank or body. Working from the
bottom of the car, try to get your hands around the small end of the
tank, and pull down hard. The tank is strong, and you probably cannot
do any damage by just pulling on it with your hands. I removed my tank
a while ago and had it sent to be boiled in a professional tank cleaning
service. Once your tank is out, make sure it is very clean, and change
all or most of the other rubber parts in it to keep dirt and decomposed
rubber from accumulating again. Good luck
