(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?

1. Place front of car on jack stands.
2. Open the front hood.
3. Make a line on the fender just behind the strut/shock nut, but in front of the tank.
4. Install a new long sawzall blade.
5. Cut along the line from one fender to the other. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sawzall-smiley.gif)
6. Stand back so the front clip does not hit your toes when it falls to the floor.
7. Cut the fuel lines with a pair of of bolt cutters.
8. Unplug the sending unit.
9. Remove the tank.
10. Place add in classifeds, "FS: Front Clip"

PS. Draining the tank of gas is optional, but recommended.
