I own a canyon 306 2010.. new fuel tanks were Purchased.. the rear tank came out fine but I’m struggling to remove the front tank .. there is a wooden tank separator blocking it from coming out .. do I cut that out or is it structural

I would consider that bulkhead to be structural (there are other bulkheads in close proximity, but better safe than sorry). Just cut it out and then glass it back in. Easy.

By the way... how did 10 year old fuel tanks get so bad so quick to need replacing? It does look AWFUL wet in there.

Yes, that looks very nasty. Could shoot that pic to GW Customer Service and see what they say.
