is the fuel tank easy to move?

fairly easy - but you need to get the van high up to get it fully out but you might not need to

but where im drilling the holes one is right above the fuel tank

but when i fitted mine (seat) i managed to get my hand & spanner in and hold the nut while a helper tightned it from inside the van allowing me to do it without removing the tank

go to your factors and get the extra deep 13mm socket for the job (all the thread of the strap disappears inside it) - the hassle it saves is unbelievable
