Default 242 how to remove tank?

I have to take tank out and am wondering if there are any L brackets under foam at bottom of tank? I pumped out fuel and disconected all lines. I have a excavator and will cut the foam with saw a,d try lifting out
Thanks scott

This not good news, but if you smell gas it`s a must. I am not sure about any other brackets I thought the foam held it in.

well i got the tank out what a pain in the ass!!!! just foam holding it in. it was leaking quite a few small pin holes fyi if you have a aluminum tank be sure to keep checking for leaks. i am having a stainless steel tank fabbed so should be done in 2 weeks. found about 2 gallons of fuel floating under tankwhat a mess cleaned it all out and am letting it dry out till new tank is ready.
