This really not a big deal. if you are worried pinch off the hose in front
of the filter Do not smoke or use a 120V trouble light. When you remove
the hoses dont get any gas in your eyes or any other body parts! This is a
good time to look at all your fuel hoses. No more Burning Vans. On yeah
you might want to wear some gloves. When you are done carefully cut open
the filter that will tell you the condition of your gas tank.
