I had the same problem with my 39 tank, the bottom half was shifted to filler side 1/4". I took 2 ball peen hammers and formed to get tank to move to left side more, then trim other side. I had just put body back on and wasn't going to take it off again.
That was the fix then remove body. Then the caged nut were to small.
I guess those rejects are still around.
