I changed a tank on an E46 with over 120k and it was a real pain to get out. I ended up using a 10" extension with a 19mm socket on the end. I pressed this against the bottom of the old tank and "tapped" it with a 3 lb. dead blow hammer. Yes, I removed the pin that is supposed to hold the tank in place and tried pulling from the top and pushing from the bottom but nothing would work. Thank God for BFH's.
