    Yeah, getting an old liner out is a pain in the ass. Mine had peeled off inside the tank and was threatening to block fuel delivery and the fuel level sensor, so it needed to come out.

    But if it's not a problem, I'd strongly recommend leaving it. It may be there to FIX a problem (small leak), and... Well, it's a terribly unpleasant task.

    If it's not leaking or peeling just leave it alone. Go ride.
