I see a heat gun in your future:) I do believe if its cross link plastic you can heat it and mold it. Or start with the small sledge hammer and work your way up to the BMFH:o

I saw a 100 gal tank measurements, couldnt get one with out a heavy delivery charge so I fig a 125 can be that much bigger. Yes heat gun 1.5 cinder blocks and a 4' level measuring progress. Ill take a pic in my kitchen :D

Grimms in Rutvegas VT, 310 denaro's and I think it was said to be 125 gal but markings on it say 130 or 135 gal. Tractor supply had same tank but it was like 139 denaro's.

Ummm did you look at your pictures of the modification you did to your tank? If that isnt something a hick would do then I dont know what is. SO with that said since your a hick be proud and strap the stupid tank to the roof and get it to where it needs to go.

well went to pull tank out of jeep and the dam thing expanded back up to original size. Next step wrap a toe rope around it about half way and take hook on our TJ Wrangler 8,500LB winch and see if I can pull it out. Will take pics
