I had a hard time taking out my fuel tank because of the pipe that you put gas into to fill up the car, whatever it's called.

Take off gass cap, and the filler neck should come off with the tank.

have you taken the tank off before? cause i unscrewed the cover of the neck took the cap off, and it feels like its getting hung up on something

Look at that diagram. There are only soo many things it can be held on by. If you've already taken off the 2 bands, and the cap, then it's either held up by the fuel lines themselves where they attach to the pump, or by the fuel tank bracket show in the middle of the left side on the diagram.

not only did the "fill-up tube thing" give me problems when trying to drop the tank, it made the re-assemble a huge pain in the butt.

i hope your reason for removing the tank is a good one.
