Hadn't been on for several days and just saw your post. I had to replace my gas tank, but the screws securing the fuel pump were severely rusted. I just ground the heads off of them so that I could pull the fuel pump and used new screws to put it on the new tank.

GONE, all I have left are a few spare parts and the wheels.
