I did it all by myself 
5 minutes with goo-b-gone, then PRESTO, a new sticker
Seriously though, I set aside two days for the install so I wouldn't be rushed and would have time to deal with any complications that might come up.
I'll post more pictures tonight.

Congrats, very cool. Look forward to all the details. Does that mean octane booster for the high quality Pemex?

That's it guys, just the sticker. I don't want anyone thinking they can use that low grade stuff in my truck!
Here's the installation details
Day 1:
Had to wash the truck. Then dry it.
Do you know how hard it is to remove the original "Unleaded Fuel Only" sticker in one piece? (I try to keep all the parts removed from the truck in case someday I want to return to stock.)
I think it took 10-15 minutes to remove all that sticky residue.
Then had to clean and wax the inside of the fuel door. (I always let a good coat of wax dry overnight for optimum protection.)
Pour Jack and Coke (Pepsi actually, but Jack and Pepsi sounds so pretentious.) and make list of future upgrades.
Day 2:
Buff off overly hard wax residue (maybe I shouldn't have let it sit overnight afterall.)
Layout position of new sticker (can't seem to mark with pencil on freshly waxed paint!?
)
Layout position of new sticker . . with blue painter's tape.
Carefully remove new sticker from backing and apply inside blue alignment marks (being sure to apply pressure from the top left corner to the bottom right corner to avoid trapping air bubbles behind sticker.)
Carefully remove blue alignment tape and check for residue.
Remove slight residue from blue tape.
Enjoy a Jack and Coke (Pepsi...) and admire my handywork! (Oh crap, I think the left side is slightly higher than the right.)
Maybe if I am careful, I can use a razor blade to lift one side, readjust the position and press in place without harming the edge of the sticker.
I could remove the sticker and start again with the backup sticker (but what if I screw up the backup sticker? How long will it take to get a replacement?) Should I call Dan to see if he has them in stock?
I could blame it on the ground. "Hey, it's not the sticker! That stupid asphalt (or concrete, road, street. . . ) isn't level!
Maybe I could blame it on the PO. "The crooked sticker? Oh yeah, that crooked sticker. The stoopid PO couldn't even get a little sticker on straight! What a moron!"
Finish Jack and Coke (you know) while evaluating all possible options. Still troubled by my inability to master a simple
sticker application, I decide to make another Jack (I'll just drop the Coke/Pepsi part from now on) before proceeding.
Rejoice knowing I gave myself 2 days for this upgrade. I've tried to squeeze big projects like this into one day before and something seems to always go wrong!
There was this one time when I replaced the wiper inserts and. . .sorry, thats another thread - you can search.
So, back to the install. These Jack's are really starting to taste good! Did I mention I use a 20 ounce mug? I use a 20 ounce mug. You put six ice cubes (I tried 5 and 7, it's just not the same) in the bottom and cover them with Jack until they just start to float, then fill to the brim with the other stuff (you rembember, Pepsi.) Give a little swirl, nectar of the gods! Three or four of these and I'm ready for another!
Oh, so I decide that I really don't care that the truck is crooked anymore.
I'm just glad I waited untill after I installed the supercharger before trying to tackle something like this!!! ;p

ROTFLMAO!!!!! How many of those Jack and Cokes (Pepsis) did you have before you posted. Seriously I agree, nectar of the gods.
Happy for you, I was thinking of mooching a ride but then I wouldn't like mine anymore so nevermind. I do look forward to checking out the finshed product. Strong work.

I could easily handle that in a day and a half, now that I have some experience
Cool gas cap too, does it come in white?
