If your tank is like my 1855 tank, part of the tank will be under the front of the cab and you will need to tilt the cab back a little to get the tank out. There is a lid, that is the top of the dash with 4 bolts that is at the top of the dash, take that off and look down in it before messing with the cab and see where your tank sits. The fuel tank will have to be able to pull strieght out so if any of the cab is over the tank you will have to tilt the cab back. My narrow row cab is not that hard to tilt back, but Im not sure about yours. Taking a tank out is not that hard really, drain the tank, remove all the sheet metal, tilt back the cab, remove the steering lines and maybe some cooler lines, turn the tank loose, disconnect the gauge and the sediment bowl, and slide it up and out. Have another person around, it takes two people to pull it out. I normally pressure wash the fuel tanks when they get "stuff" in them. I just take the sediment bowl off the bottem and stick the nose of the pressure washer in there and blow all the crud out. You can try to get the old one fixed, but those tanks normally leak at the seams and that is very hard to get to stop leaking, I have had one leaking for a while and just havent gotten it fixed or replaced yet. Good luck
