Question Fuel tank removal

A couple of questions re fuel tank removal.

1) What do I have to disconnect to remove the tank completely? (Apart from the main filler hose and the 4 tank strap bolts)?

2) If I remove the tank will I introduce air into the system and mess up the fuel injection system?

Default Question 3

3) How do these hose clips undo?



That's the tank at bottom of pic. The metal thing is one leg of the tank strap.

Default Cracks in hose

I don't like the look of that fuel hose.

Pipes and wires on top, both sides.

Is there any slack on them - i.e. how far can I lower it before disconnecting them?

Answer: they don't - the hexagon heads have gone! https://www.brit-car.co.uk/product.p...e_clip_32_50mm

Anyone got any bright ideas how to get these off?
