interesting problem.... after checking that it hasnt been epoxied or glassed in place, could you try pressing it upward from below with a lever or a bottle or auto jack, perhaps while carefully heating the flange with a heat gun? or.....if you were really determined you could cut it a few inches down around its circumference with a with a multi tool and glass it back together afterward, assuming that the flange could be parted. or.... using threaded rod and the drain hole (or bore another through the bottom fashion a "puller" to lift it up and part it from the flange. ONe thing I'm pretty sure I would do is relocate the terminal block to outside the propane locker. good luck, Dave.
