Re: Gas tank inlet
You can drop your tank, get all the gas out and fill the tank with water before you start soldering, I've done it a few times on motorcycle tanks (it's still kinda scary striking an arc on a tank, even filled with water!)
I copied this from a post by stick72. I dont see why this would not work
"$15.00 potential solution
I picked up a couple of copper 1 1/4 street ells. The "big" end is a perfect slip fit over the tank inlet, the "small" end is 1 3/8 OD, so its a perfect receptor for the gas hose.
I had to trim about a inch off the tank filler tube to insure no interference with the frame or body mount, but I suspect no two of these import tanks are the same so this might not work for everyone.
I researched copper for gas line, but the only reference I could find was that the coast guard requires copper line on boats, maybe it's preferred in saltwater environments. Anyone know of any issues using copper?
Still have to figure out a better solution on the straps....."
