Re: gas filler tube
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.

Re: gas filler tube
 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?

Re: gas filler tube
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.
