    Predator 212 Fuel Tank Teardown

    Before painting or powder coating the fuel tank from my 212 I need to first remove the plastic bungs for the vent hose and gas line. The powder coat tech said he'd have no problem putting a nice finish on the tank if I can de-trim it. Has anyone done this before without damaging those parts...
