[Healeys] Fuel tank

[Simon Lachlan]

Agreed &, if you reckon on outlasting thin steel, go for aluminium? I did
that & now I know that the fuel smell could only come from one of a hundred
other places!

This is a case of knowing you have a problem and taking care of it once and 
for all, rather than wondering if the
problem was fixed or if there is still an issue with you repair.

A new tank gives you that feeling of knowing the job was taken care of in 
the tank area.  If
you decide to just repair the tank, then any further smell or fuel problem 
could still be coming from your
repair job instead of being able to move on to a different area to trouble 
shoot.  I installed
a Moss unit rather than repair my old one and feel that the time and money 
saved in the fix and repair products,
 made up for the initial expense of a new tank.  It was good insurance for 
me knowing that
my fuel problems were taken care of in that area.

Playing with fuel problems can be a very
smelly, dangerous and ongoing undertaking,  if not done correctly. You 
better know what your
doing or it will continue for a long time.

Again,  just my 2 cents,   Mark
