Bill,
The tank for your TR250 is the same as that used on the TR4 and TR4A. I have
a 1966 TR4A donor car which has been supplying parts for a TR3A rebuild. I'm
in the process of clearing out garage and shed space by selling off TR4A parts
that won't support the TR3A. The TR4A tank didn't leak when I got the car
about 10 years ago and has been drying out ever since. If you want to go the
replacement route let me know.
thanks,

The tank is empty, and out of the car. Question 1 is, what should I do
to keep it from blowing up, so I can safely bring it into the basement
near the furnace and work on it. Will it be sufficient to give it a week
to evaporate, or do I really need to fill it with water to flush out the
fumes?
Question 2 is, will JB Weld really fix it? They say it will, but I was
wondering if anyone has personal experience. The alternative is to cut
out the bad section and weld in a new piece...
Or replace the tank. New ones are ridiculously pricey. Question 3 is,
does anybody have a spare with no leaks (TR6 will do, I believe) for 50
bucks plus shipping to NJ?
