for those of you that have dropped your gas tanks
Was the tank full of gas or did you empty it? is it hard to drop a tank that is full?

Transmission jack or motorcycle jack would be best. I would definitely empty the tank. Even having 10 gallons in it, makes it slosh around with a lot of inertia. The gas sloshing can surprise just at the wrong moment. I've had my tanks out 7 or 8 times. I have always had them nearly empty before dropping. If it is a steel tank, it will be pretty heavy, even empty. The OEM aluminum tanks I could manage just by laying underneath and lifting with my knees. I now have ABS tanks, which are held up by a large heavy steel frame. It is heavy enough that I run 2X4s under the tanks to the outside of the coach. This way I can lift and prop it up a little at a time.
