The Stovebolt Site Forums The Parking Lot Big Bolts removing gas tank '51 GMC

Is draining the bad gas out of the tank of a long-sitting truck good enough ? Probably not .... I will probably go ahead and pull it... Do I just loosen the band screws and try and negotiate/pull the neck thru the rubber gasket ? Do I need to try and save the gasket ?

I disconnected the straps completely.It's easier with the gasket out. I was able to save mine on the '42. Just push from the inside and pull with you other hand. Should be the same for your '51.

Thanks Alltruck, I appreciate the advice... Sounds like a good plan.
