Tank warning sticker removal

Hi All,
Would appreciate any suggestions on how to remove the warning label from my tank without harming the stock paint.

Many thanks!
Patrick

I think I used Goo Gone and/or WD-40.  I may also have hit it with a hair dryer to soften the glue.

It came off but took some time.  Looks great now.

If that becomes a pain another option is a decal removal wheel.  Basically a rubber wheel to put in your drill that uses friction and heat to peel the sticker off.

I used to use them when I was doing car graphics and signs.

The blow dryer on high/hot and goo-gone combo with a plastic trim removal tool for scraping worked really well.  Took about 10mins total to get the tank cleaned.  
Looks soooooo much better now w/o that ugly sticker staring me in the face.
Thank you! Grin
