Hey guys its been a while since ive been on here. I havnt had a whole lot of motivation to work on my 72 914 . I'm wanting to remove the gas tank here soon and know how to do it. However im just curious of the various different ways much smarter members have to removing the tank. Plus im not trying to make a mess. Tank should be empty but is too rusted to be saved.

I've yet to crawl under to remove a tank in either my early or late 914. Guess I'm just lazy. Siphon out as much as possible. Remove the strap, filler neck and vent hoses, remove rubber support horns from the sides, lift right side up enough to reach beneath the tank, remove hose clamps, lift tank with the right side elevated to prevent the remaining fuel in the tank from pouring out the openings. The first couple of times requires substantial cussing. After that it is a 20-30 min job.
