well, I've been a welder for over 30 years, Im well confident in my abilities, much more so than the hack that welded it in the first place I might just put it back in the way it is, its worked just fine for 5 years.
Thanks for the help and advice man

Seems your talent is wasted working on a questionable fuel tank, when you could build a new tank with correct fill location. My least favorite job removing a fuel tank, if I never had to to it again it would be too soon.

You need to learn that some things are not worth fixing.
If you're as skilled as you say you are, build a new tank and be done with it. It will fit perfectly and wont cause issues down the road with contaminents clogging up everything down stream.
I also fix everything, but I also know you can't make chicken soup from chicken $hit.
Been doing this many deacades, and have repaired a lot of "customer fixes".
This is the tank I built to give you some inspiration, so get out there and buy a sheet of 3/32" aluminum and get welding. Post some pics when you're done.

LOL right? Anything "fuel" sux. I had to remove it to put my new trailer hitch receiver on, My tank is tight up against the frame rails so i had to remove it.
Got it all welded up and waiting for my fuel hose to attach the original filler neck to the one i just welded onto the tank.
This hitch receiver is BAD ASS.
