Is it easy to drop a fuel tank to change fuel filter?

I have 2 cars that need to drop the fuel tank in other to reach and change the fuel filer. Can this be done at home or it needs professionals?

Kia optima 2004 and Dodge ram year 2000.Is it easy to drop a fuel tank to change fuel filter?If you are working with empty tanks, I'm sure you can do this at home. Be aware: I've read that the kia may not need the tank dropped as there is an access area in the back seat area. Also, the 2000 ram does not have a traditional fuel filter, but a sock screen.Is it easy to drop a fuel tank to change fuel filter?need a floor jack or a friend not hard just depends on how much fuel is in it

strap bolts are always rusty

stick floor jack under tank

remove bolts

let some remove fuel lines and fuel pump wires

replacing fuel pump it has locking ring you tap to line up with slot or if its a hose easy not real hard just heavy a floor jack wil help ive done it at home more than ive wanted to
