Pictures please.  I think I may want to do this to my Coupe, the Bird is carbureted so no in-tank pump.

I got no problem at all with this thread changing over to discussion of Vinnie's access panel (I'm intrigued too) but I'm just gonna jump in for a minute and close up my end of it.

Fuel was definitely leaking when I first fired the car up after re-attaching the tank.  But since then, I've run the car quite a bit and driven it around several times, and I haven't seen a single drop of gas.  I can't explain that, but I guess if it doesn't start leaking again and eventually proves to be reliable, then I won't worry about it.  Just seems kinda weird, though.  I think I'd better wait a little longer before filling the tank all the way up just in case I still have to remove it again . . .

Maybe the plastic part containing the clip was not seated on the part attached to the tank which resulted in a leak until it pressured up and seated.  Kinda like a bead on a tire when it seats on a rim.  Grasping as straws here hoping you don't have to drop the tank again.

I do apologize for the hi-jack in my earlier post.  Hopefully Vinnie can start a thread with all the details and leave this one to the hopefully now solved problem.
