I need to replace or repair my rusty fuel tank and to do so I need to remove it. ( duh ).  I'm sure it's pretty strait forward:  drain fuel, unscrew fuel lines and filler tubing, and unbolt tank from  the bed.  Is there anything I should keep in mind?  Any advice for repairing the fuel tank?  A friend told me that radiator shops can "Boil it out"  and re coat it, and that should stop the rust for good.

If any one could help me out I'd appreciate it:)
