Raise back end of truck as far as you can undo the bolts on the medal straps and start lowering the tank...it is best to have the tank empty,,,,,undo the hoses on the fuel pump and remove wire harness off the fuel pump ... then turn to the right just a bit and pull towards the back..not very hard to do just can be a pain..
Testimonial: "Great advice"
SOURCE: brake line behind fuel tank leaking
If the line leaking is plastic then it's not a brake line it's a fuel line. If the truck runs then it is most likely the return fuel line. If you can't get to it without dropping the tank then that's what you'll have to do, but you shouldn't need to remove it completely.
It is best to siphon out as much gas as possible. Before you removing the bolts take 2 pcs. of smooth fence wire or even 12ga. copper wire and make a cradle to support the tank, cut the wire at least 2 ft. longer than what it will take to go from the frame to the drive-shaft.
At a point about 1/3 in from each end of the tank lupe one end of the wire through holes in the frame and twist it a couple of times, then run it under the tank and around the drive shaft and twisting the ends a couple of turns.
After you get all the bolts out of the tank supports if you don't have room to repair the line you can loosen the wires around the drive-shaft and allow the tank to drop down some[this is why you need the wires 2 ft. longer]
After the repairs which will probably be replacing the rubber fuel hose that attaches the line to the tank,[I'd replace both of them] tighten the wires around the drive-shaft and replace the tank bolts. Remember to get all your bolts started before you tighten any,

That sounds quite good... I was going to send you to CarParts.com, but they don't carry fuel tanks.

Yes, a metal tank can replace the plastic one provided it is designed for the same year, make and model vehicle. You shouldn't have any problems with a replacement tank.
SOURCE: when I switch from my front fuel tank to my rear tank gas stops
There is no selector valve on a 1995 ford f150 300 engine. The selector switch on the dash sends power to the pump in the selected tank. The pump then sends fuel to the engine. If engine won't run on the selected switch, the pump in that tank needs replaced.
