Surprisingly shitty job:
take the battery out and the tank slides towards the front of the car but not before you have released the clip holding it in. the clip is between the strut tower and the tank, athe then of the "rail". You need a long flat screwdriver to push the little lug in, there is a square hole in the metal bracket locking the plastic clip in place. I think i may have slightly broken the plastic clip while removing it first time, now it comes off easier.
I assume you are going to rinse it? I used kero to get oil stains out and bleach to clear the coolant stains. you may have to leave the bleach in for a couple of hours and rotate and shake it. use rubber gloves to stop your skin peeling off.
