I just replaced the rear strap on my 94 ranger, 3.0 engine, extended cab 125" wheel base. Basically I removed the heat shield on the passenger side (4 bolts) - if there was a shield under the tank, it was missing on my truck. After the shield was out of the way, I supported the tank with a jack using a piece of wood to protect the tank. I then removed the bolts (2 - one on the heat shield side and one at the rear of the tank) for the rear strap and removed the bolt on the front strap (one - heat shield side). I was then able to push the tank over enough to remove the part of the rear strap hooked into the frame. I then hooked the new strap into the frame and put every thing back together. I used a wood wedge to hold the tank out of the way while I worked and although it was very tight, it wasn't too difficult. I don't believe the front strap can be replaced this way because it's much tighter between the tank and the frame. Hope this helps - Good luck.
In gas tank, you slide bed back a couple feet to replace.
Inoperative fuel gauges are usually caused by a bad fuel sending unit. It is located in the fuel tank and the tank or the truck bed must be removed to replace it.
drain the fuel tank. drop the fuel tank. pull the pump out and replace. drain the fuel tank. drop the fuel tank. pull the pump out and replace.
Jack up the rear of the car. Place a jack under the tank (preferably low on fuel or you can drain the tank.) Loosen the tank strap on drive side. Lower jack and you will get access to the fuel filter. Replace and reverse to install.
The fuel pump is within the fuel tank. The fuel tank has to be removed for access.

Ford fuel pumps are in the fuel tank. The line comes from the top of the tank, alongside the frame, to the injector manifold. the fuel filter is on the frame below the drivers door. in order the replace the filter you will need to buy a tool the replace it.

You must either raise one side of the bed enough to get the fuel pump out of the top of the tank or remove the fuel tank.... NO OTHER WAY.
