Cant you get your existing tank rewelded or move the fuel hose to the inside some how, maybe some constructive mad scientist move?!
You're talking about the leaves hmmm im not sure if it should be split. Are you going to be adding adjusters?

found it so one should be enough rite or do i need two

Safer to go with 2. If you use just 1, you will add 2much of stress to the one without it. Rather do both beams.

Yes it was in the strand but don't think I want to comment on who as now other stuff has come to the surface and I don't know if it was already like that before they got the bus or where somehow involved.

I suggest Co2 welding. But im no expert. Maybe bugger or Mello could pitch in...?
