First of all, I noticed that the old tank installation allowed road splash water to enter the boot because the toward the forward end is tilted up to be able to screw into the fuel fitting and sponge rubber only touches the tank on the rear end of the tank. My idea was to use additional foam tape on the forward end of the tank and silicone caulking to seal the opening. Also, the tank is as loose in the straps so I used block of wood wedge to hold it firm temporarily. So I hope the group can describe how to install a new tank in and old car as allowing road water to enter the boot sounds illogical. My new tank is temporarily installed. <u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><u></u> <u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Bob Begani<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><u></u> <u></u></span></p></div></div><br>______________________________<wbr>_________________<br>
