whats the matter with your tank,does it got a hole ,if so if its on the side or bottom ,you can drain as much gas out of it as possible then jack up the side away from the leak and go get jb weld and put it on the hole and let it set over night till it bonds then you can fill it up again. (it is good stuff,i used it before on a trans. and it never leaked again)
drain as much gas out as possible. use a jack or something similar to support the tank, unbolt the filler assembly from the body, remove the straps holding the tank and slowly lower until you can disconnect the fuel pump assembly from the lines. If you are really mechanical, you can remove the bed from the frame to make access easier.
Before removing the gas tank, be sure and eat 2 full orders of tater tots. Then, theres nothing you can do to mess it up. You’ll be fine!
