"Just like most vehicles they give you just enough room. You might even cut a knuckle but it can be done. Put a floor jack underneath the tank so you can control how far and fast it comes down. Also put a 2+12+12 between tank and jack."
Help dropping fuel tank ( gasoline)
I have a 72 Grumman motorhome. The fuel tank needs to be dropped because I am not getting fuel to the carb. There are two pickups on the top of the tank. One goes to the engine and the other to the generator.there's also 2 sending wires on top.The problem is that the fuel lines run on top of the chassis rails under the floor.

"Hey Kirk,
I hope you had a good Christmas, and the New Year is treating you well!"
"Hi Paul,
Haven't done much with the old Krager, I've been working on putting together a big air compressor to run my blasting cabinet. I got a piece of 12" channel iron and had to mount the compressor head and…"
"Hi Kirk.
It's been a crazy couple of weeks.
Did you manage to get the Krager all stripped down yet?
I decided to buy an old 1967 Sunbeam Alpine. It was an ebay classified. Sat at a coparts in PA. Long story but very frustrating from beginning…"
"Hey Kirk.
No. Life got in the way. I'm already to drop it but need to make the time.
Hopefully in the next two weeks it'll get done and I'll post an update!
Take care"
"Hi Paul,
Any luck on your gas tank problem? Haven't been on here much the past couple weeks, busy trying to get ready for Winter! I started taking the old Krager RV apart yesterday. Need to get it gone! That thing has a…"
"Hi Paul,
It would be nice if these so called "parts sellers" would post dimensions of the stuff they sell! But that would make life too easy! My tank just has a steel pipe welded to the top corner of the tank.…"
"Hey Kirk.
So I have a filler neck without a thread. The cap I did buy a while back has the tabs that twist onto the neck. I dont know if the steel filler neck was also changed at some point before I got it.
The amazon search did show a bunch of…"
" Hi Paul,
I dug through my bucket of gas caps and the only one I found had the threads on the outside of the cap, so it would screw into a filler neck instead of over it. The Amazon one is called a Stant Saddle Tank Fuel cap black,…"
"Hi Kirk
If you can find that cap on amazon again and can tell me what the description said I'm sure I'll be able to find it. No need to copy the link. Just the main title - like brand and basic description should do it.
Dont go digging…"
"Hi Paul,
I just looked online for a replacement cap, I found one on Amazon tried to add it to this post but it didn't recognize the format. It was $23 dollars and some cents. I'll have to dig through my…"
"Hey Kirk.Just one picture came through. The top of the cap. I should be able to find on based on that. Thanks for taking the time to help.My tank is probably setup the same way as yours. Sorry for the enormous picture. I Cant resize on my…"
