What scared me was I read an old thread where folks talked about needing to use a heat gun and a pry bar to get the lower tank loose after all of the screws are removed along with a lot of patience. But I believe that was for a 2004 Xfire. I hope that is not the case with a 2007 Xfire. I am hoping that the case readily becomes fetched with the removal of the bolts. Please let me know what you experienced as I am somewhat frightened with the prying of the pan
