[Healeys] Fuel Tank sealers

[John Spaur]

Sealers decrease the capacity of the tank. Also, they can plug the metal
screen filter on the bottom of the pickup line. I would suggest buying a new
Moss replica tank. They are a great reproduction.

Johns recent comment about his use of sealers on a fuel tank which lasted 15
years.  25 years ago when I bought my BJ8,  I had mine sealed inside and out
with an epoxy by a well known local specialist Al's Radiator in the western
suburbs of Chicago.  I called them because of heavy rust plugging the full
pump and carb filter.  They were surprised it lasted that long and
recommended having it done again.  They are now a part of a rather expensive
franchise program which has dealers in Florida.  However, I would like to
flush and seal myself.  Has the members of  the list have any suggestions?
The tank does not leak and is original to the vehicle.
