I have a 2002 S10 crew cab PU. I am trying to remove the fuel tank. The Claymers manual shows two straps holding it but mine seems to have a piece with 4 bolts holding it under the tank.Almost seems like the drive shaft needs to come out and the tank should slide out to the side. Any thoughts?

Sounds like your vehicle has the optional skid plates on it. Those 4 bolts should come out using a torx bit and some luck. Then you will find the 2 straps that hold the tank in place. When you get the skid plate off you will probably want to grab a cheap die and chase the threads on the bolts that hold the strap. They tend to rust and then the bolts can break off. Not fun.

its easyer to pull the bed of to get to the pump.
