Fixed hole in fuel tank, moved carrier mount

I found some plastic tank repair epoxy at Napa that supposedly will permanently seal a plastic radiator leak. It's not supposed to be used on fuel tanks (probably because of liability issues) but I figured, that the heck. It worked flawlessly and I'm on my second full tank.
I also redrilled the carrier bearing drop bracket and moved it an inch farther away from the tank in hopes that it won't flex enough to hit the tank again.
I pulled her out of mothballs and got 20.2 MPG on my first full tank!!! That's all city and big altitude changes.
I didn't expect that at all!
