First remove both rear mudflaps, then the plastic guard under the left wheel arch to gain access to the filler neck.
Don't be lazy and just cut out a section with a stanley knife like the previous owner of my car.
The little plastic retainer studs can be removed by making a tool from a caulking gun nozzle, which you push over the pointy end to compress the barbs. Just cut the nozzle down til it's a tight fit.
As already mentioned, remove the rear lights and disconnect the loom close to the lights.
Removing the tailgate takes a lot of weight out, (only 2 hinge bolts and a wiring plug) but 4 blokes is still good as it's an awkward shape to lift.
The filler flap cable is held in by a plastic nut which locks like a light bulb bayonet fitting, twist it from underneath the wheel arch. You have to leave the filler cap off, so shove a piece of rag in there to keep dirt out.
The filler neck has a plastic grommet which can be twisted/pushed down towards the tank to release it from the rubber grommet which stays with the tub. Grab it from underneath to twist it. and pull at same time.
Don't forget to disconnect any towbar wiring.
