How to remove gas tank


93blazer

Does anyone know how to remove the gas tank from a 93 blazer. My fuel pump crapped out and I want to replace it. I removed the skid plate from under the gas tank and loosened the 2 straps. The gas tank won't move and I can't see any other bolts holding it in place. The Haynes manual is no help with this. Has anyone done this?
Thanks,

did u get the filler neck and the 3 line comming out of the top?
the sending unit have a few wire but u can see the once u get the tanl down a bit the groun is located on the rear cross member on the top with a 13mil self tapper. there is just the 2 lower straps with 4 bolts attaching them

if they are rubber u can probally just cut them and replace it i would replace the sending unit if there is any signs of rust. just yank can there are straps on the top but they dont affect u. i did my 90 2 weeks ago on the road and juts straps and lines i might be rusted pretty good
the straps have to be completely removed

dont cut the lines, they will not hold the tank in. also, new straps are really cheap from gm

new lines are cheeper and something u always should replace and the straps if they are not rotted don't replace them

before you remove the tank bolts make sure you heat up the nuts with a torch.
