I'm a big guy with big hands, so the only way I even try to get to the fuel lines is to pull the tank. The good news is that I can pull a fuel tank in about 20 minutes now.

If you make the new fuel lines about a foot long, you'll be able to pull up the tank without having to disconnect the lines first. Much easier that way!

I pulled 2 Gas tanks yesterday, each took 15-20 mins by myself in the hot cali sun. Its alot easier to work with the tank out. Also, that access hole is a favorite spot for black widows, both cars yesterday had more then right under the tank when I pulled them. It could be the seals on the bottom of the tanks, or your old fabric hoses need to be replaced. When replacing them try not to make them too long as they will want to kink when putting the tank back in. 12 -14 inches is a perfect length. If you get it most of the way out and it seems like its caught on something, that would be the fuel tank level sender wires stopping the tank.
