I too was at a point where I thought I would have to remove tank but found one attempt that I got it out. I had best go practice reinstal a few times now to see if I can learn a good instal method. I did note that removing the tank gasket gave a small amount of room up. Besides obvious tight fit the thing has spring loaded arms to deal with.

Good progress this week. Bondo nearly done. Trunk lid stripped, I noted that it was still original paint  though rest of car has been repainted. Perhaps the hood will be the same???
