agreed. the tank should be a plastic one so with 6 gallons it shouldnt be much heavier then a 5 gallon jerry can. it would be much more cumbersome. use a scrap of plywood and a floor jack. you will have to disconnect the fill hose and there are some hoses swaged on at the top of the tank. you have to lower the tank a little and get the hoses off. there is not a lot of play. be sure you can support the tank while you cut the swages off the hoses. on my truck the hose from the fuel pump to the round plastic plate in the top of the tank broke off. the pump was working but no fuel came out. autozone had the oem pump. al .

fuel pumps usually dont go bad when you have a near empty tank. dont ask me how they know! i heard that because of the heat generated by modern fuel pumps with the higher pressures and constant runs that frequently running your gas down towards empty could end up shortening the life of the pump. the gas itself helps cool the pump so running the tank down toward empty frequently means the pump runs hotter for longer periods of time. i know i typically run my tank down low and did end up replacing my fuel pump at about 90k miles which i thought was a tad on the premature side. smh .
