I FRACKING hate gas tanks partly def because of one, anyways i cant get the stupid bolts off for my straps on the gas tanks they just came out till they got real hard and keep spinning
Try to get a electric saw up there , cut them off . or small grinder , just make sure you know where the sparks are flying and no leaks on fuel anywhere around the car . Then replace the nuts and bolts with OEM , most body shop stores will have some kind of replacement bolts .

Or maybe just a Vice grip on the top side of the nut where it is broken, has to be real tight, if you try that maybe some type of WD-40 on the threads . ......Hope this helps .......D.Wilder
I soaked mine in on blaster for about 10 min. Hit them with the torch for a couple seconds and they came right off.
PB blaster. Without autocorrect.
