Seriously now, after looking at the nuts/bolts that hold the bed on I'm not at all convinced that it would have been THAT much easier. Nevermind the fact that I'm doing this project alone (no help). Plus, I wanted to set the precedent of dropping the tank in case it needs to be done again at a later date. Also, I'm not sure, but I think having the tank out of the way allowed me more working space to work with those brake lines that are tucked up in there beside it.

FWIW, I had a similar leak on my truck in about 1996 and 2000. Replaced the tank top unit the first time and the fuel lines the second time. Kept the stock pump and it now has aver 297,000 miles on it. I always keep the tank half full or more and change the fuel filter regularly to help keep the pump cool and alive.

I didn't flush it out, but it didn't "look" dirty either. Well, it's too late now. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> I ended up replacing the main fuel line from the sending unit to the filter. Expensive buggers!
