Thank you for the tips! I’ll definitely pick one of those up. Thankfully, I’m sitting just over a quarter tank. I guess while I’m at it, it’ll probably be a good idea to replace the filter and fuel lines as well.Dropping the tank isn't all that bad as long as it's less than half a tank of gas. You'll want an extra set of hands to help lower it down.
One of the bolts on the strap is tough to access. I used a stubby wrench but it took me like an hour to get it out. That was the hardest part but it could have been avoided.
None of the write-ups mention it but get a SWIVEL SOCKET for the bolt I think it is 13mm if I remember correctly. Not a swivel attached to a socket but an actual "swivel socket"... I didn't have a set but I would have bought one had I known. Regardless, I had the tank out and back in after maybe 5 hours total over the weekend.
Sounds like you might have a fuel pump issue so dropping the tank may very well be in your future...
