Had not thought of this - thanks.
Have also considered 1st attempting to remove the screen with the gas tank full so little to no vapors in the tank, and then if necessary drain the gas down for access through the tank Gas Gauge Hole. Also do this outside on a cool day with a box fan (they are AC, no sparking DC brushes) over the Tank, and doors open. Having the gas cap handy, fire extinguisher, and heavy blankets handy.
And the Fire Dept./EMS on alert
Will be doing this next spring, my A is unavailable, currently in storage for its winter nap. Storage time is a great time to prepare for the next driving season.
Thanks to all for suggestions, please keep them coming if there are additional suggestions.
