Even if prices skyrocket to $4 by the time you finish the job (very
unlikely!) you will have only saved yourself $7 or so.  Working on the gas
tank is nerve racking enough as it is for me.  (And the gas tank is heavy
enough as it is even when "nearly empty".).  I imagine that it is *possible*
to to this job with the gas tank half-full or whatever, but it seems like a
foolish idea to choose this route.  I bet you $7 that if you decide to do
this, you will end up wishing the tank was empty.
