If its empty just take the straps off and drop it, or take the bed off and get it that way.

Getting one will be a junkyard part. Best I can say there is happy hunting :/

need a tank? I have one of each here collecting dust. where you located?

and I have had no problems pulling the straps..... if your tank was OK jut changing the pump then the bed removal sounds better but the tank dont rest against the bed but a couple crossmembers on the frame under the bed anyway; so either way to change the tank the straps hafta come loose; in this case a waste of time to pull the bed

Well. Actually I think its a 22. Lip on it and on E 5 gallons did 1/4ish. I think a fuel line is leaking because it only leaked when Its running. Not to bad. Got new plugs to put in. I'm in Minnesota. How much for tanks

I'm in Plymouth Minnesota myself. Where are you at? I was going to suggest heading over to U Pull R Parts in East Bethel as thats where I get many of my random truck parts. Altough I was looking at their website and they don't list "Gas Tank" (Maybe because They Drill into the bottom of the tank to get the gas out before they put them in the yard?) I'd say give them a call and see if they can't help you out. Heres their number 763.434.5229. If your close let me know if you need any help. I'm always willing to give a hand.

Detroit lakes. I think it's a hose cause it's not much gas and only when I run it. Am I right?

if only when running then yes; probably hose or steel line.
