If the tank was full, it would weigh well over 100#, but wouldn't slosh, right? IIRC, it took every stroke of my Craftsman floor jack to get the front end up high enough to get the support bars freed up the last time I pulled my tank, so slipping another jack under there to stabilize it might be a stretch. Maybe slipping some 3/8" plywood under the tank would spread the jack load so it wasn't denting the middle of the tank. Maybe not. Hope that tanks stays up there anohter decade or so.
