Removing the tank isn't a very difficult task but it'll help if you have an extra pair of hands Buying the cheap fuel line disconnect tools will make things go a bit easier rather than attempting to rig something to do it.

Ya I'm definitly gong to have my Father help me out with this. And I also went ahead and sprung for the good aluminum line disconect tools with me being a Automotive Tech.
What I was acually asking was how to clean out the inside of the fuel tank once I get It down and out. Cause I have never done this. I still kinda green being a Tech. And I think cleaning it out would be a good idea considering how many times I ran out of fuel before. Thanks for the suggestions guys, keep them coming!

Much appreciation, CLINT
