Default Dropping Gast Tank ...STUCKKK

I have all the lines discontected from up top and down below, and the straps are disconnected. It says in the manual that it may stick up there however this thing doesnt want to budge its ridiculous. Any advice ...maybe something i forgot maybe ....

I was going to do the same to clean my tank after the car sat for 4 years while I was building it. I had the same problem. In fact, I slightly dented it trying to pry it out, so I left it. I just drained it and ran fresh gas through it. I know that doesn't help you, but I thought I'd let you know mine was stuck like mad as well. I'd be really interested in hearing how you got it out once you get it out.

i got it i ended up using a large (3 foot) pry bar and just pushed it in there as far as i could go with it and pulled up hard as hell. The first time i did it with that big *** bar i got it. I didnt mess up the tank too bad either so it worked out. But that sucker was up there good, i almost thought that i forgot to unbolt something it was so tight.

Was there rust-proofing between the frame and the tank? They could have bolting the tank on and the rust-proof in between could have stuck them together....just a thought.

in the manual it says its undercoating, it looked like epoxy kinda though. Whatever it was, it held that thing tight.
