trying to remove the tank on my 4x4 but cant..the bolts are just spinning any ideas?

 

Common problem. Get your hacksaw out.

Get new captive nuts when you put the tank back on - 3 required at about a quid each (part number 6767592) - and stainless M8 bolts.

 

cheeRS mate..fucking annoying they are

 

get a dremmel to cut the bolts of

 

I just air chisled my one off that stuck, managed to wiggle the other two out by backwards forwards loads of wd40.
I'd get a new strap as well, plus a new sender gasket, there are two sizes, I didn't know which was which so just got both, one is about 50p the other one about £3.
Don't forget to stick the two pads on that stop the tank rattling on the chassis that is butts up to.
