Quite a few '73-up Panteras had poorly aligned external fuel attachments. Besides what was suggested, loosening the fuel tank hold-down strap will allow the tank itself to be shifted to a better position. This is far easier if the tank is nearly empty due to lighter weight. Be very careful if you decide to prybar the tank to move it; the steel used in our fuel tanks is paper-thin and a healthy individual can poke a hole clear through an undamaged tank bottom using screwdrivers etc.
