94 Gas Tank cover removal??
I have a question on my 94 GT...I am running out of things to detail on it so I am going underneath next! I know I have too much time!!
 The plastic cover over the gas tank is apparently held on by two straps, I'd like to pull those straps & drop just the cover for a good cleaning...will the gas tank drop out if I remove those straps? Or is it held up by more bolts? etc? Thanks... I got tired of walking up my sloped driveway & having a clear shot of my road grimed gas tank area...Then I'll polish up the red sway bar, sure wish the Eibach springs & shocks were a bright color other than the black!

The tank is held up by the straps. The best way to remove the cover I have found is to burn as much fuel as possible to lighten the tank. Jack up the rear and support it with jackstands. If you have another set of jack stands there should be a small lip on the sides of the gas tank you can place jackstands under. Now you can remove the straps, but watch for the tank to drop as well. The tank will probably come down alittle bit, but remember it is held in place by the filler tube, the jacks are there to keep from damaging the filler tube if the tank decides to come out.
I will be doing this yet again this winter and then will be painting the cover RED

Thanks Sonic, good info there...think I'll try it that way first.
Brian now you've done it! Another mod I really want to do! LOL...Thanks for the link man I love those colored covers...They even have a white 94/95 with my saleen covers! Prices seem pretty good too... Now just to decide which color, white or black?? My area under the bumper is already black from the factory so I don't really know which way to go yet.
