be careful about using the pipe. the lip that the cap uses to tighten down would be damaged by using a pipe as suggested, although you might be able to roll it back out. However, if you make the opening oblong, you have a much tougher task.
Have you even tried to mount it yet? Is it terribly angled when mounted? You could make the mouting holes larger in the mounting bracket (the one that the tank mounts to, not the plate on the tank). That would give you a bit of wiggle, and you could mount the tank so that the neck is square to the hood. No one will see that the tank is at an angle, as it will be mostly under the hood. the othe option is to leave it as is. these tanks are fairly heavy sheet steel, and won't be the easiest to straighten out.
I would leave it as is, as it doesn't appear to be that dramatic, but then the picture may not show as bad as real life.
