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

Removed the Filler neckbut couldn't get to the 2 fuel lines.

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

Thanks for the quick reply. I remove the straps completely and give it a tug. Thanks.

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.

Not sure about heating tank bolts up with a torch. Kaboom!
