This is the second time this damn thing has cracked on me (at the same spot, at the base of the neck). Can someone please explain how to remove it? I searched and I couldn't find help.

Thanks.

this is from memory of 4 years ago when I replaced mine. Underneath the car where the tank is, there are 2 bolts. You need to remove those. Just reach under to the tank and you will feel the bolts. There is also a hose that connects to the back of the tank. Ok, I know this isn't great, but it can help start you out since no one wants to help you.

Thats pretty much it. You have to remove the pass. fender liner or pull it back out of the way.

Is the white plastic of the tank neck itself cracked, or is it just a tear in the black rubber-like sleeve that holds the filler tube into the neck of the tank? The tank assembly is made of three pieces - the tank itself, the filler tube, and the filler opening that has a bracket to bolt it to the fender. All are made of white plastic and sort of snap together. If the bracket that bolts to the fender is loose, after a while the black rubber-like sleeve will deteriorate from the flexing, but it won't leak as long as the filler tube is intact. I just replaced the black rubber-like sleeve on my car with a short piece of thin-wall rubber hose, 1" ID. Duct tape would probably work as well.
