DO not remove that section or you may have a bugger of a time resealing. Just remove the hose. If you want to see in, take out the sending unit on top. There really is not need to remove those bolts and the filler tube mount unless you are redesigning the tank filler.

:agree: Unless it's a aftermarket tank, I have heard they don't line up real
well with the OE necks, in that case Radiater shop to remove and rebraze?

that's what I had done when I installed the new tank in my truck. I took them both to the shop and said I want this neck on this tank, it cost me twenty bucks.

There's twenty bucks well spent, it can get ugly in a hurry if you do it the wrong way, my .02

I agree, take it to the rad shop. Unless you like explosions. If it was a brand new tank that had never seen gas, it's a different story.
