I haven't dropped the tank yet, but I'm about to. I first used the garden hose to spray the crap out of the loose dirt/corrosion around the tank. I then drained approx. 15 gallons of gas out of it. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/angry.gif" alt="" /> It didn't go too bad, though. Disconnected the fuel pump electrical connector, dropped the tank cover (only broke one bolt), and now I think I'm ready to drop the tank after I disconnect the filler neck.

There looks to be some give in the gas lines; hopefully enough to get the tank down quite a ways. I'll be replacing the gas lines, brake lines, but I'm still not sure abou the pump itself.
