<VV> fuel tank removal

[allvair at allvair.com]

Most likely the filler neck / vent hoses are rotted...

Jack the car up at least 2 ft in Front.....? remove swaybar...? 2 wires from fuel sender....small hose....? 2? straps...

go up top..remove cap.....spray rubber grommet with something slippery..

get a block of wood [ 2x2]? and a BFG....? Whack the filler neck...it'll all fall down!

When buying the filler neck hose [ get SOFT hose..not the BEST / stiff hose....to make re-insertion with hoses connected easier..

    I've just discovered that the fuel tank in the 65 monza I just purchased 
leaks badly when full.  What is the most likely culprit, and please pass on 
advice for removing the tank.  I plan to start the project in the next few hours 
but have never had the fuel tank out of  a corvair in the past.
