Is it a in-tank fuel pump, if so do you need some instructions.?

I dropped mine just enough to disconnect the lines from the tank and remove the pump.Either way you'll only be able to drop it so much.

If you happen to have a motorcycle /atv jack, they work great holding up the tank. But if you need some instructions, Obsequious1has some pretty easy ones to follow.

there is no need to cut any gasket? once you lower the tank down some the filler tube will pull out. it is good to have an extra rubber grommet to install . they brake sometime when pulling filler tube out.
