Started working on dropping the fuel tank for the fuel pump replacement. Might have done something wrong and caused me extra work but that's ok. It's already done. The jack stand rubber pads worked great and so did the rubber wheel blocks. I'm going to get another set and use them to possibly block the trailer so it doesn't move as I pull the STE up on the trailer.
Filler neck tube and vent tube disconnected.
I think this is the connector for the fuel pump, disconnected.
Since the International lived in Oklahoma all it's life, everything is so pristine underneath, no rust and bolts are so easy to break loose. Is this the original sending unit part number tag?
Disassembled the filler neck to give me more wiggle room down below. I also removed the rear quarter splash shield. That's just red Oklahoma dirt, not rust LOL!
I ran out of time and need to look at some old threads. I think Imp said that you don't have to disconnect the two rubber lines up above the rear of the tank in order to drop the tank? I also consulted with 55trucker. I partially removed the left side rear tank strap and may have caused me extra work. If I don't need to remove those two hoses/lines, I'm going to take out the two front bolts on the tank straps, much easier to get to.
