Yes, there should be an access panel. No electrical sparks or anything around gas fumes.

Sorry, we don't send e-mails.

Yes, the tank has to be removed. Your biggest concern is how much fuel is in the tank. This is not really a job that should be attempted without a lift and transmission jack to support the tank.. You are going to have to partially lower it to access the line connections on the top of the tank. This can be a very messy job if not done right.
