Default Re: restoring a classic, need some advice.

meads,

1st of all make sure its completely empty. These old alum tanks have a tendancy to corrode on the sides and fuel will spill out fuel as soon as they are dislodged from their origional position. Trust me it is a mess and dangerous.
Leave a section of your vent hose and fuel line on the tank and fold them in half and secure with a couple of nylon tie wraps(so excess fuel won't spill as the tank is tilted). Then plug the fuel fill hole with somthing.
Try and cut thru the foam down each side of the tank with a hand saw(long)to split the foam from the stringer. Then pull and pry out the tank. It should come out pretty easy.
Dave
