Removal of warning stickers from fuel tank

Whats the best way to remove the factory warning stickers from the top of the fuel tank so as not to do damage to my immaculate paint work?

Cheers

Clueless in most things
Hair dryer, then baby wet wipes/wd40/tar remover

Heat the stickers on a mild heat for a few seconds and then they can be lifted. The wet wipes/wd40 or any kind of tar remover will clear any residue

Heat as above will help remove the sticker itself then anything containing acetone like nail varnish remover or plaster remover will shift the residue, petrol will do it too but not as easily

Hair dryer - big no no no...

I recently had to de-graphic my van and after using a hair dryer on a small area (with a few problems due to their age) I went to the graphics supplier to see what they use.

A steam wall-paper stripper. It can't get too hot which can burn the graphics/damage the paint.

Finished my van off in no time. @tu*

Ps hairdryer and follow up with WD40 worked fine on both my Birds, but what do I know:-0)
