[Spridgets] Dropping the bug-eye gas tank

I'm trying to drop the gas tank in the bug-eye, but I'm hung up on the filler
tube.  The shop manual seems to be for later models, as the bug-eye doesn't
have a filler hose, but rather a solid metal tube.  Is the tube part of the
tank?  How do you remove the rubber gasket that fits between the tube and the
body?  Is there anything else holding the tank in place?  Thanks.
