Not sure if you could grip it with that. I reckon wood and hammer. Or a nice new clean tank

mine has been stuck in the past. Let the engine run for a bit so it heats up. when its warm it undoes alot easier then when its cold and not been ran for most the day.

When he opened it had you just been using the car? i bet you had!

yes i should of warned about that, warm up but not get to hot, and definatly do not lean over it when removing it. you just want to loosen it when hot, let it cool then take off.
