Yikes. Gasoline all over my arms and all over my bike and parking space. Apparently the ol' "how much different could the Phantom be than the Aero video on YouTube?" mentality failed me miserably.

Luckily I had a 4 gallon bucket near me when this went down. Unfortunately, the bucket was out of arms reach at the moment of need. I DID get the tank off...it just cost me about $10 worth of gasoline and 2 hours of cleaning.

I usually learn best by learning the hard way....

I will post some pictures of what NOT to do once I get some food and a beer in me to calm myself down.
