just be glad you don't have a mercedes m-class. in the local factory,
they put the tank into the frame before they put the body on. guess
what you have to do if you want to remove the tank? yup. remove the
entire body off the frame!! and the first 5000 m-class that came off
the assembly line did have a recall (factory) on the gas tank. :)

so them germans ain't near as smart as they think they are. ;)
