dave johnson Wrench Fetcher D Joined: Dec 2006 Posts: 25 Bend Ore	I'm looking for some help. I have 51 1/2 ton with fuel tank behind the seat. I can't find a way to remove it. It has two straps but no way to loosen or undo the straps to get the tank out. Its has about 4 gal of gas in it, that is rusty and dirty. Thanks in advance for you help Dave J.
