Thanks all for the replies... And yes just ordered a gas tank... Which i know is going to be a pain to install

I've never done it on my 350 but on my old my fox body mustang it was just two bolts and your done, if you trying to figure out how to get the gas out try siphoning it.

Set the car on flames and roll it off a cliff.

use the hole you punched in it. or buy a siphon from your local hardware or automotive store.

On the bright side at least you didn't get crushed by your car.

You could try punching a hole in the tank.

Not sure if you are mechanically inclined, but don't listen to any of the bad advice here. Replace your gas tank.

This and then don't ever work on cars again. You're lucky you're still alive. Either the jack stand failed or you put it improperly, and I am going to assume the latter.

Do not believe any of these guys. I say ditch the gas tank( stage 2 weight reduction) and go full solar powered. Thank me later

is the gas tank half empty or half full?

Well i just said to hell with it and made the gouge bigger and just drained the 8 gallons of gas from it... Fun stuff i tell ya!

I HIGHLY recomend using the replace the gas tank method.

If I remember correctly, the entire rear subframe has to be removed to gain access to the gas tank. When the gas hose recall was done several years ago, I'm pretty sure the dealer removed the rear subframe. Do you have the proper tools to raise the car to accomplish that task?

Hmmm… I don’t think he has this since he said:

And that is why I asked the question. It would seem replacing the gas tank is a major task and I would think some kind of lift would be required.

Spike100

Of course you are correct… Remember that the OP is the guy whose car fell from some jack stands. I hardly think he has some sophisticated lift equipment.

I’m not flaming or saying “duh.” I am simply pointing out the obvious.

OP, I'm happy you got all these great recommendations. I was worried that no one would know how to help and your thread would...tank.

SQuaLZ

Agreed. I helped my buddy change the tank on his Chevy pickup and damn that thing was a pain. It took forver, plus we broke a hose when dropping out the old one (forgot to disconnect the hose that runs to the gas door)

I would figure that changing a gas tank on a pickup would be much easier than on a sports car, mainly due to room and ground clearance.

I recommend you go to a professional.
