Muscled the tank back in. There was some flash rusting still after all the chemical soaking but all of the worrisome bits are gone. It doesn't sound like a rattle when you shake it now- which is good.
Threw new fuel filters on and slapped the old carb back on just to see if it would run. I still ran it on starter fluid and it ran fine. Until I found the vacuum leak on one of the butterfly shafts. Oh well, that's what the Sniper is hopefully gonna fix.
