Thanks to all for suggestions on removing my gas tank. I was finally able to
get the tank removed by bending a 1/2" box end wrench that I found in my tool
box. This wrench was made from aluminum and was only 4" long and 1/8" thick
so I was able to bend it into a "L" shape and with the use of some WD40 was
able to remove the nuts from the strap bolts. The tank looks in good shape on
the outside , but the question now is should I replace it with a new tank
($200) or try and clean and seal it with one of the kits from Eastwood. I
inquired about having a radiator shop do the cleaning and sealing but they
want $130 for the job. Has anyone used the Eastwood or similar kit and would
you reccomend it?
Thanks,
Wayne C.
