Re: [DML] Removing fuel tank

["David Sontos" <dsontos@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Matt,
The foam pads on the sides of the tank are holding the tank in place. If the
normal pushing and pulling don't budge the tank then you need to cut through
the foam pads. I used a thin piano wire and just looped it over each pad and
sawed through each one. The tank promptly dropped out after that. Do NOT pry
on the tank, as tempting as this may be, it is only plastic.
