The DAR did not require me to pull them.
Don, You won't have this with your wing tanks but those building conventionally will want to query their inspector beforehand regarding whether the fuselage fuel tank should be in place or not.
Because it covers a key area of the flapperon interconnect, I asked FSDO about this and they were quite clear that they wanted to be able to easily inspect the controls. My inspection was done with the tank on the work bench. I didn't offer to re-install it and they didn't ask me to.
