Trying to install the Airdog 100. Everything was going well until I went to disconnect fuel tank suction connection. I have been fighting this thing for the last three hours. I can push the ear on top in easily, however I can not get the ear on the bottom to push in so I can pull the hose off to put the new hose for the Airdog on. I have considered pulling the bed, but I would also have to pull the gooseneck hitch off, too. I have consulted Chiltons and Haynes manuals, and they say you have to pull the connections to drop the tank. The tank is full of fuel.

Options/recommendations?

Anyone have any ideas?

Don't have a way to empty the tank, but will give it a shot at dropping the tank an inch or two and try again. Thanks.

Finally dropped the tank down quite a bit. Problem was the tabs were vertical, with one next to the tank so I couldn't get a finger on it to give it a squeeze with the other one. Used a pair of needle nose vise grips and finally got it off. Now I just have to get everything back together do I can drive it to work tomorrow. Thanks everyone for the help here.
