Just spins around? Possibly you snapped off the welded nut on the inside. Make sure the bolt is correct size though.

I've read that a few people have. I don't recall that they ever reported how they fixed it past opening up a hole to get to the nut.

try one of these get the right size and pitch and waaaalahhh no welding or cutting. might have to drill the hole out a little to fit the insert or rivet nut sleeve in the hole. http://www.rivetsinstock.com/rivet47.htm

If the tank is in the way, then remove it.

I don't think it is, but it could be. Basicly your cutting out where the the bolt threads into to.
