how do you drop a tank?
hey guy's I'm new to the square body forum. I just bought an 86 1/2 ton gmc. I filled up the passenger side tank this morning and found it doesn't hold gas. I pulled out the plastic cover and now need to drop tank. I was wondering if there is an easy way or the best way to drop a tank that's full of gas.
thanks ian |

Re: how do you drop a tank?
Put a block of wood under it and a floor jack. prolly the easiest. If you can take off the box that's a bonus but not necessary. Remove both hangers from the frame and unhook the fuel lines from the sending unit. Be safe!

Re: how do you drop a tank?
Like above stated it is pretty easy. I did it with one of my friends but I could have done it by myself. It will be much much easier if you are able to siphon the gas into another container first though.

Pull the filler neck hose and siphon or pump some out , Gas is close to 6.073 lbs a gallon
