Tony, I tried applying moderate torque to the one on the oil tank and no dice. I'll keep applying PB Blaster for a week and see what happens next weekend. Is it safe to assume that applying heat there is a bad idea?
Thanks for the info everyone.

Pablo,
If the oil tank is not installed in the car, it is safe to use heat and open flame. But I would think twice using heat or blow torch with the tank installed. The residual oil inside the oil tank could ignite and cause fire you never want to see.
Tap the big nut using a hammer to shock and loosen it. Spray penetrating oil and shock it repeatedly. That nut has to come off now or later. Just be patient and persistent. Do not give up. You will overcome this hurdle.
