Jimbo - Waxoyl weighs something, even a little bit, so if you spray some on; you'll be adding weight to your car:!:(

I have removed a few petrol tanks in my time. It's a dog to do :(

The only other thing you have to do is turn the car on with the fuel pump un-plugged to use the fuel in the fuel lines.

I would recomend you unclip the fuel lines before you remove the tank too. But it's easier to remove the filler/breather hoses with the tank on the floor.

easy-remove filler cap to release pressure, open up tank sender cover disconnect plug to tankt op, go under car remove 4x13mm bolts that hold straps in place,tank will come free then disconnect lines and two hoses with jubilee clips on.
