Dick;
Correct on the pre-filter accessible from the large plug of the tank. I had rust in the tank of an ES and it took several cleanings of this filter before the car started running reliably. Its a pain...the tank has to be drained first, and in my case is probably ready to be removed, cleaned and internally coated at this point...I'll just have to make sure the pre-filter doesn't get coated and plugged in the process.
Ryan;
Youv'e been watching too much Hollywood...gas doesn't burn without ignition and doesn't explode unless the conditions are just right! In hollywood, cars just spectacularly explode all by themselves after going over a cliff(aided by explosive charges and radio triggers)...makes for high action but isn't much of a reflection of reality. Observe proper safety precautions (work outside if possible because of the fumes, and IF something were to happen, its better to loose just the car, instead of the car AND the house!), keep sources of ignition away, wear eye protection, have extinguisher handy, and see if you can remove the big plug to gain access to pre-filter after draining tank.
Good Luck,
