I see by searching there has been considerable discussion of fuel tank issues, but nothing on how to remove the fuel tank. I have a 1973 Spider. I have removed all of the hoses, top and bottom. I have also removed all of the screws holding the tank to the trunk. However, it is unclear to me how to remove the tank from the trunk. Do I have to unbolt the fuel filler neck where it attaches to the body then remove that section with the tank as a single unit. The only other way I see to do this is to cut off the short rubber hose that connects the fuel tank to the filler neck that is attached to the body, as these does not seem to be a way to slide this rubber hose up or down out of the way.
