[Healeys] Fuel tank

[Skip Saunders]

Me too... I've done nearly the same thing.   Only difference for me was once
I got to the ground off exterior step, I took the tank to a radiator place
and had him solder on some shim material over the holes...the solder flows
under the shim material to form a thick metal layer over all the area of the
tank which had pinholes... I then applied an electric sander to the edges to
smooth it out like body work, painted and used the Bill Hearsch process to
coat the inside...has worked for more than 11 years...:-)

What I do with pin holes on gas tanks is first was the tank out with Muritic
acid then grind off the exterior where the holes are and fill them with JB
Weld and with an electric sander on the exterior smooth it out like body
work. Then I coat the inside with gas tank sealer from Bill Hearsch and it
is good as new .
