I have obviously been misunderstood by some. This tank has a metal emblem that attaches with three screws into a metal strip that is welded to the gas tank. There is rust on that metal strip and there isn't enough room to fit my smallest screwdriver under it. How the heck can I remove the rust underneath it? OEM doesn't even list this metal strip as a part if i rip it off and who knows what kind of damage I could do taking it of or welding another back on (I don't know how to weld). I am thinking about trying a wire wheel and I have yet to try sandpaper because I can't fit my finger under it. I guess I could try cutting sandpaer into strips to get the underside of the metal strip, but I have no idea how to sand the groove of the gas tank that is under the welded metal strip.
