RE: Gas tank removal, need help!

[Richard Broughton <richard.broughton@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

	If the spider tank is similar to the TI tank, there are 6 screws. I
just took my tank out Sunday so I know. I also used the jack and the board
technique and it works like a charm. The tank was stuck to the rubber seal
but it only took the slightest pressure from the jack to pop it out. If you
try it, and it begins to raise up the car, Stop, and go looking for another
screw.
