My piece of advice, is if you had time go to the scrappy and see how hard it is to remove the tank, noting which bolts, nuts or studs are rusty and disintegrated. Then see if you can access the tank from above (noting an empty tank (fumes) can be more explosive than a full tank) If there is enough space between the floor and the tank for a nibbler.

Totally get your advice. I think the tank rests as flush as possible against the floor, so I’m keen not to make things even worse by trying to cut out access from above.
The tank is held on by two straps like so. It’s four bolts and two jubilee clips to drop the tank.
Also appreciate the fuel vs fumes, but I don’t have the strength to bench press 50kg, so I don’t fancy dropping, lifting, and one-handed mounting it while full.

Nope. I have placed a screw back in through the hole hoping it slows the leak a little until I can drop the tank.
I’ll siphon the fuel out if I can.
The drip is incredibly small and slow, but it’s still there. It stops very soon after parking now, where it’s just the little bit that has pumped up and out from the flex of the plastic.
