The Ford Barn

I recently purchased a 29 Town Sedan which was in a garage for 19 years.
I want to remove the gas tank because of the black sticky sludge about an inch deep.
The cowl on this car is similar to a 1930. My understanding is that the tank has to be removed from the inside. All of the screws and brackets have been removed and the tank is loose. But it seems to be hanging up at the filler cap. Do I need to remove the cowl band or is there a secret I'm missing to get this tank out of the car to get it cleaned out?
Thanks, from Reno, Nevada
