Right.
The tank wants to fall through the floor and crush a wire loom. I removed and repaired the tank with plastic weld. Cut out the fiberglass  floor , Then added a plywood floor directly on the frame rails .  Supported by some square tubing .

I had to do the same thing on our 84 ORED, as it was falling through the floor.
