The tank should come out. Only the 4 mount bolts. The filler neck area, with no bolts. The wire to the sending unit. And the bottom hose connections, are all that is holding the tank. the tank does have a sound deadening strip on the back that may be sticking the tank to the body. If you have done all the above, it should come out.
