Brian's tank may be stuck in there too!

We'll see. I got all the fuel out on Saturday and am planning to start digging foam from the sides today or tomorrow.

That is very true and very possible. So Brian, if you need any pointers let me know.

Thanks. What did you use to pull the foam out from around the tank? I'm thinking I'll just use a regular hand saw because the deck overhangs the opening and I need something thin and flexible.

Brian, i went to Sears and bought a 1/2" wide 24" or so long Craftsman pry bar. Looks like a long screwdriver but the front is a little bent. I also use a crow bar, but i don't think it fits without removing the floor. BTW, my tank inside was like you installed it yesterday, and the outside in a VERY VERY good condition. The foam under the tank was wet with water and gas, so it is leaking, but i can't find from where. Too late now anyway, i'm getting a new one.

Yeah, I looked inside the tank from the sending unit port. Clean as a whistle. Wasn't expecting that.
