Re: [FWDLK] gas tank removal

[Ray Jones <hurst300@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Don't know  for sure on your tank, but if the drain plug has a square 
hole in it , use a 3/8" Ratchet or Braker-bar.

As to the filler nick, support the tank, remove the straps and start 
letting the tank down. The tank will start to tilt as the filler hose 
si still hooked up. At  some point, you will be able to get to the 
filler hose clamps as the Tank tips.

Have fun, Ray
