I would be more worried about fire risk by carrying the gallon in your
trunk than opening the tank access.

If it is anything like the tank in my '91 100q (which I think it is)
access is quite easy and wouldn't require any special tools. Just wait
until your tank is nearly empty to do the job.

The access has a seal and should not be a problem.
