A similar thing happened to me in AYN 912, my 1934 4-seat tourer while driving along the Perth Road in Dundee one Wednesday evening in 1967.
I heard a strange grinding noise and stopped to find the petrol tank dragging along the road by the petrol pipe.
Fortunately I had a spare front brake cable in the car which I used to hoist the tank back in place and lash it there.
That held till the end of university term. On the way home to Cambridge I went with friend via Liverpool where we attached it with metal plates etc.
