Something else to keep in mind here, is that after you remove the filler
neck from the tank (which you do before dropping the front), you have a
giant open hole in the side of the tank.  Even with the tank half full, I
imagine crazy quantities of gasoline pouring out of there as you try to drop
the tank, slide it around on the ground, and then lift it back into place.
