Hey Don,
hmmmn..is the melting from a chemical or gas..? if the wiring has melted it would be from a wire getting shorted with another or going to ground [or being overloaded]..if your actual gas tank melted..well..that's another story.. ugh..this might be one for the repair shop.
wish i could have been more helpful..
