Luke, DON'T REMOVE THE TANK. It is not necessary to remove the tank for cleaning. the entire interior of the tank can be accessed through the fuel pump opening. It does help to have slender arms to reach the far corners of the tank. If you must remove the tank there are 6 foam rubber mounts surrounding the tank, these mounts adhere to the adjoining frame pieces with age. You will have to scrape these pieces away in order to remove the tank. Removing the tank is no advantage to cleaning it is very labor intensive and is not necessary.
