I would wait until you had less than half a tank let in the car. Then jack the car up and properly support it on some jack stands. I would use the rear cross member near the gas tank to do this. Places the stands as far out as possible to aviod beening able to rock the car too much. Then locate the rubber fuel line entering the gas tank. It will probably be a 2" pipe. Remove the hose clamp using either a 5/32" or a screw driver. Revove more gas using a hose into an approved container. If you are going to take the tank off I would suggest puting the jack under the gas tank. Put just enough pressure tso you know it is on the gas tank. Then loosen the bolts on the gas tank restaning straps. When the bolts are out, and mind you that your car is an 89 and this has never been done so the bolts may come off hard. Remove the straps and lower the jack slowly to aviod dropping the gas tank.

You can try hitting the gas tank. When mine was going out, hitting the gas tank would jar the fuel pump enough to get it working again, but only temporarily. If this works, you know the fuel pump is going.

Fuel pumps are always located on the top of the gas tank. For the 93 Dakota, the gas tank is on the drivers side, underneath where the bed connects to the body. You wont be able to get to it with out dropping the gas tank, a task that is more easily accomplished on an empty tank.
