How to melt a gas tank 101:

So I melted a tiny pin hole in my tank this weekend. Saturday afternoon we are sitting around talking and someone points out that my tank is awfully close to my pipe. To which I reply, "Yeah I think the same thing". He tells me to shim it up when I get a chance. Now keep in mind it has been this way since I bought it and I have ridden it about a dozen times. Sunday after the race I am loading the bike and notice the leak. The first thing I thought is, "thank god it didn't catch on fire" while I was on it or off it. So word to the wise watch that distance between those two because 1/2 inch is not good enough :p.

It was an IMS 3.6 gallon screw cap tank. I have two stock tanks but they are kinda useless for my style of riding. I shouldn't have any problems getting a used one from someone soon though.
