Hello, you need to get all the lines loose first, gas lines, electrical connections, the fill hose, whatever. Drain the tank.

Doing it by myself on some makes and models, I have used a floor jack, I did use a 1 foot by one foot piece of plywood on the contact point.

A couple of guys might be able to handle it, I'm not sure how heavy and awkward your tank might be.
