Gas Tank leak and Hesitation

[bigaldover]

My dad has an 93 Topaz with3.0 V6 and auto. Over 206000KM motor seems in good shape. Iwill be changing the gas tank, as it is leaking now. How do you remove the quick disconnect fittings ?
The gas lines are rusty and I do not want to put any extra stress on them. I have de-pressurized the lines using the shut off switch.

Any help on this woul be greatly apprectaited.

Secondly, when starting the car in the morning it is hard to start and if you step on the gas it will almost stall. Plugs, rotor and wires have been changed. This has been slowly getting worse.

I am wondering is this possibly a cam / valve problem ?

Any ideas on things to check and test ?

Thanks Allot !!
