[Healeys] Aluminum Gas Tank

[Bob Spidell]

My immediate response would have been 'yes,' as I've sealed two new 
(steel) tanks with no negative results (one's been sealed for at least 
20 years).  However, Hirsch's own FAQ says 'SEALER SHOULD ONLY BE USED 
AS A LAST RESORT'  (the whole doc is in caps).  So, if a company that 
has a vested interest in selling sealer doesn't recommend it, I wouldn't 
do it again, esp. with an Al tank, which should be more impervious to 
rusting (I believe Al forms a thin oxide layer on its surface anyway).
