How do you remove the fuel tank on 95 6.5 diesel Tahoe?
We have the straps loose. And the fuel tank didn't budge with pry bars on it.

Any advice would be appreciated

We pried with a good sized crow bar and finally got it down.

It is leaking. Can anybody help out with a best place to buy a good quality replacement tank and/or part number?

Thanks

Aside from local salvage yards or car-part.com. Rockauto.com has just about everything I ever need. I'm sure they have Tahoe fuel tanks including the diesel ones.

Good links. I got one from Advanced Auto parts. I didn't want to wait. Then I found a bad cross member, had more hold ups and now I'm bit for time

Leaking gas tank

If it's a small leak at at seam or pin hole try using epory to seal the leak on the outside. I work on a lot of old cars and have had success with the two part epoxy you get at the parts store. About 5 or 6 dollars.
