Looking for assistance in removing the brass nut that connects the fuel line
to the tank; mine appears to be rather well siezed in there.

Actions to date:
a) applied liberal quantities of Liquid Wrench, let stand several days,
rounded nut slightly with standard open end wrench
b) soak several more days in Liq Wrench, borrow $nap On connector fitting
wrench, round nut some more.
c) cut fuel line, remove tank from car, use six point socket to complete
rounding process.
d) do Incredible Hulk personality swap, attack nut with Vice Grips, machine
several millimeters of brass from now completely mangled fitting with the
teeth on the Vice Grips, reach for the torch ... but return to sensibility
and decide to seek aid from the list ... help.
