Re: how to safely remove a gas tank in the driveway?

I would probably get the gas out of it regardless (siphon, or rig up a separate fuel pump). Or - cut a hole in the load floor of the suburban to provide access to the fuel pump.

In any case you could make a platform out of a piece of plywood. Add some borders around the side to capture the tank and securely mount it to your floor jack and you should be good to go. (That's what I do for TH400 transmission removals).
