I removed the fuel sending unit and was able to get a hook on a piece of metal turned sideways and used a come-along from a rafter in my pole barn, worked great for me.

Someone used a pressure washer to blast the foam out. Thought that was a good idea, if a bit messy.

I remember!! "Lt Dan" used an electric chain saw to remove his tank. I think "John R" wrote a limerick about the ordeal?

I used an Excavator too, after I cut through the foam w/ a skinny hand saw.



Check out the hole about the size of a quarter on the side where it was "foamed" in........bad idea.
