[Healeys] Fuel Tank sealers

There is a soul proprietor old time radiator shop here in York, PA who 
restores and seals gas tanks as well as radiators.  A friend of mine has 
had many gas tanks done by him for old Volvos. The shop is called West 
York Radiator, which you can find contact information for on the 
internet.  It's on West KIng St.  The shop is not affiliated with anyone 
else, and because his services are no longer needed with modern cars, he 
could decide to retire as soon as he is able.  My opinion is that we 
should support businesses like this to keep them open as long as possible.

His prices are also quite reasonable, actually downright cheap. Another 
friend of mine had his MGB GT radiator rodded out, which cost him $20.

If you want another, more informed opinion of the shop and owner, I can 
check with my friend to see if he will entertain questions about the shop.
