It should be possible.  The difficult thing is getting the filler tube
out of the tank.  Be sure to clean the area first to keep the crud out
of your tank.  Be prepared to drop the tank anyway if the rubber grommet
breaks into pieces and falls into the tank.

They do come off easily, which is probably preferable to the alternative
of snapping them in half when something gets snagged on the plastic.
