fuel leak after tank strap replacement

The passenger side tank strap broke on my car a couple of weeks ago. I replaced the strap last weekend. Unfortunately, in spite of due diligence, I snapped the bolt, and after removing the trunk floor, found the back of the stud which was pressed into the same back plate as the sway bar mounting stud. I ground out the old tank bolt and slid in a bolt from the underside and tightened everything down. Now I'm getting a leak just forward of my rear tire. It appears to be under pressure as it comes out in a mist. Does anyone have any suggestions other than drop the tank?
I'd prefer to not drop the tank as I'm certain the other strap's bolt will likely not let free without snapping the other bolt. Any suggestions that are easy?
BTW, the tank did not drop because the driver's side strap held well.
