() Removing it can be done one of two ways. The first is to pull the engine, cut out the engine beds and then cut the tank out. The second I have heard of is to cut a big hole in the side of the keel and pull the tank out that way.
The current tank is a plastic one in the lazarette. I could have it out ion 5 minutes or less.
