Final stretch, new tank in.

I got fairly bruised up reaching in to the engine compartment trying to get that one pesky clamp off...

All in all this took me about 3 or 4 hours with plenty of beer breaks. I used the following writeup to help me with the swap. I could knock this out in a couple hours if I had to do it a second time, and it was nice saving what I'm sure would have been hundreds of dollars in labor.
