The in tank pump will only run with ignition on if engine is cold. It will not run on ignition if engine is hot.

Lets put it this way DON'T use a jigsaw. Personally i would remove tank. You can then check condition of brake pipes that run above it.
dropping tank is not viable , my parking is on the road .

Then i would suggest a little Dremel type tool with lots of cutting discs. Just barely going through the metal.
