<VV> Re: gas tank removal

Hmmmm, have you tried the blow torch method?
   Seriously, a knife used to cut the middle of the tube, so that you can 
remove the tank and then get to the remaining portion of the rubber...I would let 
the area air out for a while after the tank removal before attacking the 
stubborn rubber remaining on the filler with a knife or wd40 and a knife...

    Trying to get the rusted out gast tank out of my 63 convertible 
project.  Anyone have any tricks for getting the rubber filler tube off 
for the tank?  That is all that is keeping the tank in still.  The 
original hose is solid as a rock and wont budge. 
Undid the clamp I could reach but the rubber is to hard to budge.
