I've only seen 3 tanks come down in my life and all 3 were complete removals.

I suggest you drill out the right rear fender liner plastic's pop rivets. They're plastic too and come out real easily.
I did this to track down an EVAP leak so I know it's easy to do.

With the liner removed you be able to see the entire filler neck.
There have been reports of a grounding strap wrapped around the neck such that a hole was worn through the filler neck.

Just have replacement rivets and a pop-rivet gun before you start.
