<VV> my virtual garage and fuel tan removal

[George Jones]

IF you meet any significant resistance when removing the tank, you may want
to pull the front carpet back and check for patch panels in the floor. It's
not uncommon to find sheet metal screws or pop rivits, meant to hold a patch
in the floor, also holding the gas tank in. If this is the case, you've just
opened a new can of worms.

Good luck!
