Today I was driving home from work and stoped at a light and it cut off but started back up then I stoped at a store went in and came out and she fired right up then I stoped at another light and it died then when I tried to start it it just went click each time I turned the key so I push her to the side of the road and when I tried to start her there it would keep turning over but wouldn't start and I did smell a little bit of gas

Haha balancing a 25 gal tank 3/4 proven to be quite a challenge but doable with two twist jacks or 2+ people wiser I do with 3 I wouldn't take the bed off that's forcing it and causing unnecessary work
