Lightening the Fuel Tank
It looks like I am going to have to replace the fuel pump on my 1997 F150 Supercab 4x4 4.6L. I now have about 20+ gal. of fuel in it. Any suggestions on a way to get it out. I've tried the old "Carny Credit Card" without any luck. I can fish a wire down to the tank, but when I try a 3/8" hose it runs into a blockage about 18" down.
Any ideas are much appreciated.

In a perfect world, pulling the bed wouldn't be a bad idea. But with an 8 year old truck, the chance of all six bolts coming out are 50-50 at best. Find yourself a $30 floor jack and a few peices of 2x4s and drop it, 20gals and all.
