Would anyone be surprised if a 90 minute job turned into a 5 hour event?

I got a steel tank from Bob Drake and went at it today.

The old tank wiggled in and out from the bottom just fine so I expected the same.

Didn't happen. No fussing about Bob or his suppliers - everything lined up and it would have been a breeze to drop in from the top. Either my span just wasn't wide enough or the flange may have been 1/4 to 3/8 too wide.

Best I could do was to top-mount the filler side and under-mount the passenger side - after cutting off the cage nut. I'd like to get a second bolt on that side....but at least it's in before the weather turns & my JB Weld repairs drop off!
