Not using the normal PG rules. Tank leaders don't have the ability to allow stacks to combine fire.
Note that I don't own FITS so could be wrong if there is a special rule in that game allowing it.
No, there is no special rule in FitS that allows tanks in adjacent hexes to combine fire.
In the larger sense, combining fire from tanks in adjacent hexes is a complicated affair. Doing so requires a regular leader, with a combat modifier, with a unit having a direct fire value and tank leader to be in the same hex, and a unit with a direct fire value and the 2nd tank to be in the adjacent hex. The tank leader and the regular leader would activate together, each leader activating their counterpart in the adjacent hex. As units activating in the same hex may always combine fire of the same type. A leader with a combat modifirer, tank leaders don't have those, may combine of units they activate from an adjacent hex. It is real nice when you can do it, but situational friction often prevents such an fire team.
