Thanks for the link. I figured you had to, just really don't want to.

Yeah, it's not really a "fun" job. But it's not that hard if you have a buddy to help you lower/raise the tank. Buy a six pack for each of ya, and you should be done by the time you drink it all...

Save some money and help the original guy who made the fuel tank vent mod. Anyways, its not hard to drop the tank, just make sure you are LOW..VERY OW on diesel. I drove it until the truck said low fuel, then 10 miles past that. I still had 2-3 gallons left in the tank. I dropped thing thing myself.

A great trick is using zipties to go around the fuel fittings to hold down the release clamps. Not a lot of space and I recommend a long sleeve shirt because of the metal shield on the tank

hahaha... Theres no pleasing some people. They come flying in the parking lot with a cell phone in their ear and think the world revolves around them. My service truck holds about 50 gallons, but when the truck was rigged out, they sat the service bed down on the front filler hose, NO WAY to fix it. So, it takes about 25 minutes to fill that tank. About 5 minutes to fill the rear. Then, when they think i'm FINALLY getting out of their way, I have to swipe a different credit card to fill up my air compressor and fuel can.
I just look at it like this, they should have got to the service station sooner.
