I have never tried this on a tank pad but usually if you use a blow dryer, you can loosen the adhesive enough to pull it off, on a gas tank I would not recommend anything hotter than a blow dryer, unless your looking for an insurance claim lol

Hair dryer or preferably a heat gun and some Goo Be Gone for the adhesive. Heat it up and peel it back slow. When the pad is offpour the Goo Be Gone on a soft clothan gently wipe off the adhesive.

try heating it up and using some floss to get behind it, thats what i did for debadging my car back in the days, comes off clean usually with no residue if u get it warm enough.
