This will be my first gas tank removal. I have searched the forum for tips on removing the in-cab gas tank from my 1968 C10, and it seems pretty straight forward.

I have removed all the bolts and the gas gauge wire, and I have the tank loose right now.

My question is: Should I detach the fuel line coming up the face of the tank then bend the line away from the tank enough to get it out? I will be cleaning and reusing the tank, so I don't want to damage existing gas lines.

OR, is there another fitting in the line beneath the cab that should be disconnected?

Thanks!
