Now I'm tweaked. After lifting the rear axel to get under and bend some more clearance between the exhaust and spring, I lowered the floor jack quickly and the handle bumped the gas tank on the way down, knocking it out of my hand.

The flange for the big drain cracked it's braze to the tank, and now it drips, slowly. I was so mad, I went looking for a match. Tried a epoxy fixit, which worked for about 2 weeks.

Just wanted to vent about a gas tank. Hah that's almost a pun.
