How to remove the FUEL TANK from your Chevy/GMC Square Body GM truck 1980 [Wrench At Home]

In this video we'll show you how te remove the fuel tank from a 1980 GM GMC/Chevy #Squarebody truck. A relatively easy job which you can do by yourself, but getting a friend or relative to help you will make the job easier, and more fun. The fuel tank itself is being held in place by two tank straps, which are attached to the frame rails with 4 large bolts each.
The reason why I'm removing my tank is because I have this annoying issue where my fuel gauge needle is pointing way past full. This is probably caused by a bad ground connection somewhere. Because the fuel sending unit is a pain to get to, and because there is a lot of welding to be done inside the cab (right above the fuel tank), I decided to remove the tank completely so I can give the tank a good cleaning, replace the sending unit and so I can start welding safely.

[@WrenchAtHome]

Lol, thanks man! (For me it’s a serious upgrade compared to a hand ratchet)

[@sciugasalvage]

Awesome video! About to replace dual tanks on our 87!

[@imonaroll9502]

Just a tip. It’s always easier to tilt the bed aswell to get the gas tank out. It goes by faster. ❤

Thank you, good luck!

Wouldn't hurt to raise the jack stands a couple of notches

[@laurelrunlaurelrun]

Did you find the issue with the fuel gauge? I’ve got the same problem. Thanks for the tank drop video. Really helpful!

[@WrenchAtHome]

Not yet, but it’s probably a bad ground or the sending unit gone bad. I plan on replacing them both when the tank goes back in, so fingers crossed, lol. Thanks for watching!

[@laurelrunlaurelrun]

@@WrenchAtHome Agreed. There are some great videos on here that explain how to bench test the sending unit and also the gauge in the dash. I was hoping for a simple bad ground connection to the frame, but alas, cleaned it up and no fix.
