I guess I'm back to this post. I can go ahead and remove the tank and see how things look inside, problem is it's still 80% full! As long as I disconnect the wires and fuel filler neck, it can be lowered (via floor jack) without issues right?

Besides obvious damage (hose/filter inside the tank being shot), what else can I do?


On another note, could it be that the engine warming up is warming up the ignition coil also? Kind of a random though this morning
