  Q: How do you remove a fuel tank on Chevrolet Avalanche,Silverado,Suburban,Tahoe,GMC Sierra,Yukon,Yukon Denali and Yukon XL?

  A: To remove the fuel tank, first disconnect the cable from the negative battery terminal and relieve the fuel system pressure. Then, raise the vehicle and remove the fuel tank rock guard if equipped. Loosen and disconnect the fuel tank filler neck hose and EVAP system vent hose, as well as the EVAP line that goes to the EVAP canister and the fuel supply line quick-connect fitting at the front of the fuel tank. If there is still fuel in the tank, siphon or hand-pump the remaining fuel through the tank filler neck pipe. Detach any clips securing the Fuel Pump/fuel level sending unit harness and support the fuel tank. Remove the two fuel tank strap bolts and disengage each strap hinge from its mounting bracket before carefully lowering the tank to access the fuel pump/fuel level sensor module and disconnecting the electrical connectors. To install, simply reverse the removal steps.
