[T2] Single cab Gas Tank removal

[Al Brase]

Yes, you remove it from inside the treasure chest. Gotta get it drained and
I think remove the fitting from the bottom of the tank.Remove the access
panels. If straps won't come loose, it might be better to cut the bolts
than to cut the straps. Then of course you have to unhook the inlet hose. I
think there might be vent hose on top too.
