Heading to Harbor Freight.☹️

A brief update: I picked up the transmission jack at HF . Other stuff filled most of the day but I managed to get the jack in place and raise the tank with it. Actually got the filler hose and clamp in place. Yeah. then I went to the other end to raise and hook it up. That's when the filler hose came apart and fell back down. Turns out that I failed to raise the jack enough so that it would hold the filler tub hose clamp assembly together. My bad. Anyway, I now know that I can get the filler tube aligned and joined which was my original issue. By now my neck was telling me to take a break so I'll get back to it tomorrow smarter than I was today. Thanks for the advice all.
