Need to take gas tank off does it just bolt to frame

you will need to cut them off then after the tank is out of the way you can take the nut side off

inside the gas tank, and also onthe driver side frame rail under the car under the driver door hindge inside the frame rail with a plastic cover over it held on with a hose clamp and held to the frame with a self threading bolt that has a 13MM head. has a fuel line ( plastic ) comingout ofboth ends and a 2 wire electrical connector. The tank pump is in the front side of the tank and with the car jacked up by the body it's just above the rear axel and can be removed with the tank still mounted to the car.. The tank needs to be level and less than 1/2 full orr the fuel will come out as the tank is opened. some cars have only the tank pump, and none on the frame.

This will sound ridiculous, but read on. The ABSOLUTE easiest way to work on your gas tank (including the fuel pump and sending unit) is to remove the bed bolts and slide the truck bed back about a foot. This gives you complete access without fighting with the fuel lines. It is MUCH faster and easier than removing the entire gas tank. Just remember to disconnect the wiring harness for the taillight assemblies in the rear before you move the bed. When I first heard about this, I thought the guy was nuts. However, once I tried it, I would NEVER pull a fuel tank again with the bed in place.

There will be two straps that each have one bolt in the frame. Dont forget to unscrew the filler neck inside the fuel door.

Run the fuel tank empty, if possible. The Jimmy's tank does not have a drain plug, but if the pump is still operating, then it is the only method of running the tank dry. An empty tank is lighter than a full one, and it makes removal easier.

Unbolt the fuel tank's protective shield by turning its hex-head bolts in a counterclockwise direction. The shield will then slide out. With it removed, the tank's bolts are now accessible

Disconnect the electrical and fuel line connections to the tank's fuel pump, located on the top center front of the tank. There are two (or three) different-sized fuel lines, and one wiring adapter plug that must be disconnected. The hoses come off by pinching or unscrewing their hose clamps, and the plug simply pulls free once its catch is depressed.

Unbolt the fuel tank by turning the bolts that hold it to the frame counterclockwise. The tank should be supported with a jack during this process, as once the tank is freed it will drop from the frame. Lower the tank out of the truck and use the jacks to set it aside to work on it.

If you going to replace the fuel pump:

Unscrew the two screws holding the fuel pump to the tank by turning them in a counterclockwise direction. Once they are out, the pump can be gently pulled upwards and out of the tank. Some residual fuel may spill out, so have a towel handy.

Replace the fuel pump by lowering it into place inside the tank, then securing its screws in a clockwise direction. The plastic fuel pump may be easily damaged by turning the screws too far, so only tighten them enough to seal the pump to the tank.

Replace the fuel tank into the truck with the jack(s), and tighten the bolts that secure it to the frame in a clockwise direction.

Reconnect the fuel lines and adapter plug. The fuel lines are sized for their nipple fittings, and should only fit onto the nipple that they were designed for. Tighten each one with a hose clamp. The wiring adapter plug should make a "snap" sound when it is properly seated.

Fill the tank with fuel and test the new pump. The pump should make an audible whine as the truck is started, and the whine should stop after a couple of seconds. The pump might make a softer sound after the truck is started--this is normal.

After two tanks of fuel has gone through, replace the fuel filter.

Good luck and hope this helps, Note the bolt that holds the gas tank strap may strip or snap. Just cut it off and replace by welding a new bolt for the gas tank strap.

You got a short circuit. I'd be willing to bet, where it is. There are 4 bolts on the the outside of the frame, just beneath the driver side. this is the front bracket for the gas tank. Loosen all 4 bolts, then get under and take a peek at the inner frame between the bracket and the four loosened bolts. Make sure the bracket isn't pinching the wires to the inner frame. You know what to do if they are.

The float inside the tank needs to be replaced. or one of the wires has a small short in it.

The trick to it is the easy way....... lift the box.
Take the bolts that hold the rear box to the frame out of one side "the gas tank side" and loosen the bolts holding the box to the frame on the other side.
Jack the box up....tilting it up sideways just enough to work on the tank.
MAKE SURE THE BOX IS SAFELY HELD UP WHEN WORKING UNDER IT!
Now connect everything with no sweat or dirt in your eyes.
The last thing .....and don't forget.....will be the 3 screws holding the tank filler neck to the box after it is lowered.
This technique works well for changing fuel pump assemblies on newer trucks quickly.

FUEL FILTER IS LOCATED ALONG THE BACKSIDE OF THE FUEL TANK UP NEAR WHERE THE LEFT TANK STRAP BOLTS TO THE BODY/FRAME..YOU HAVE TO DROP FUEL TANK DOWN TO REPLACE FILTER..A LITTLE TRICKY TO GET AT..RECOMMEND A REPAIR SHOP IF YOU ARE NOT EQUIPPED TO DO THIS

The fuel pump is in the gas tank, the best way to do this is to get some friends and remove the bed from the frame. There is i believe 8 bolts that hold the bed to the frame, and don't forget to remove the hardware to the gas tank filler neck. Once the bed is off the frame, you can get to the fuel tank. Disconnect the wire harness and might as well replace the harness since there only $12.00 last i looked, disconnect the fuel line and return line. Remove the fuel pump retainer ring and lift up on the fuel pump sending unit. To install replace the rubber O ring and oil it before installing the new fuel pump sending unit. Install the fuel sending unit retaining ring, gas lines, new wire harness, and filler tube. Good lime also to check the hose to the EVAP since you can inspect them, look for any dry rot to the vacuum lines and replace if needed. Reinstall the bed and use lock tight to the bed bolts or replace them with stainless bolts. Good luck and hope this helps, oh and you might as well change the fuel filter while your have the bed off. The other way is to drop the gas tank which means draining the tank and raising the truck.
