Danny, I just got on Touché and looked at the platform. Yup, it's part of the interior pan.
Plan B - cut out the platform above the center storage. Use a jigsaw or a multimax vibrating saw. Drop in the tank. Put the cutout back by letting it rest on new wooden cleats under the cut. Just like the access panel except screwed down. Dennis C.
