took a gas tank from a 3000 to the dump. It had a few
pin holes in it. I also can’t understand why people
spend so much time worrying about the price of tires.
I understand the issues related to size, as we all
know size matters, but why on earth would someone want
to cheap out on the very thing that connects us to the
road and that our lives depend on. Shouldn’t the
discussion centre on quality, service life and road
handling rather than price. </span></p>

fuel tanks for a few days now and whether or not one
should seal it etc. I just checked the Moss website
and right now there is a sale on 20% off, a steel
gas tank is $189.99, plus $15.00 for oversize
shipping. </span></p>
<p><span
style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;

$167.00 for a gas tank.</span></p>
<p><span
style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;
color:black" lang="EN-CA">But if you want to get an
aluminium one it's $619.99 minus the 20% which works
out to $496.00.</span></p>

understanding why, someone who drives a car worth

the pickup tube & the engine would

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.</span><span
