Go over to Auto Zone and buy a cheap manual choke cable, about $6.00,
Take it back and try pushing it back and forth into the return line. If you are
not totally clogged there is a good chance you can work the cable back and
forth and get through the clog.
Worth a try before pulling the tank.
Good Luck !!!!

Cole,
Why would you try to remove the blockage or debris in the fuel tank with gasoline in it? I've done this several times in less than an hour by simply draining the gasoline from the fuel tank by detaching the delivery line, return line, fuel gauge sender unit, and fuel tank filter. You could clean the inside of the fuel tank manually by using different techniques or methods or simply bring it to a radiator shop.
The key to this project is determining where the problem originates. How long did it take you to realize that the blockage or restriction was originating from the tank itself? An hour, a day, or a week? Whatever technique works for someone is good. It is a matter of choice.
