Forget to put this in my original reply, but the best way I found to drop the gas tank is to support it with a floor-jack while you undo the straps. The tank is not overly heavy if it's near empty, but bulky especially if you are by yourself and laying on your back. Jack comes in handy for reinstalling the tank and holding it in place while you get the straps bolted up. Probably wouldn't hurt if you put a block of wood between the tank and the jack for added protection. Good luck !!!

However, my fuel guage is not accurate. I put 5 gal. in the tank and it reads past full. If I have to drop the tank to check my grounds, should I just replace my sending unit. And if so what sending unit do I need for a 70ss 396. It looks like dropping the tank is going to be quite a ordeal. I think I am going to have to partially remove my exhaust. Thanks again yall for your help. Bob
