        Throw it away, bite the big one and buy a new one. I tried the 
        slosh stuff from Moss. Followed instructions and it lasted 
        2 1/2 seasons. The stuff ended up in my fuel pump and some 
        of it to the carbs. It was a real mess. 

        This is something that we are all going to have to do some day
        if we continue to keep old LBC. The patch is a fast fix and will
        work for a time, but the end is near and time for a new tank.
