(yes I used search)

Is it going to be as easy as undoing the fastener on the top and pulling up? Anything I should look out for?

I need to remove the tank so I can get it cleaned out at the local boil-n-go radiator shop. Also, 'While I'm In There™' anything else I should be doing?

I removed my tank from my '75 last month, to install new hoses from the tank to the hard lines. I printed the instructions from the Pelican technical 914 section. There is a technical article specifically detailing tank removal. These instructions saved me lots of time! I had the neighbor help me remove the hood, only took three minutes & made the whole job easier.
