<p>If it matters to anyone, Greensburg where Jake's place is is in
western PA, 30 or so miles east of Pittsburgh. The place that I
mentioned is in the eastern part of the middle of the state, York
County. The last tank I had done was the one for my MG TD, and
that cost lest than $200, and was 3 years ago. A friend of mine
has had many vintage Volvo tanks done, but hasn't taken any for a
while because the owner, Harry, raised his prices, and he can get
new reproduction tanks for less than getting them repaired.</p>
<p>Harry cooks them out in a hot caustic or acidic solution going
down to bare metal, and then the coating he uses is a red color
that stands up to all gasoline, even with ethanol in it.<br>
</p>
<p>Either way, there is a big difference between what either of
these charge and $900 for a new tank that may or may not be
exactly like the original.<br>

<div> A shop near me would probably cost less than $300
to repair, clean, and coat a used tank. That would
leave a lot of room to ship the tank to them. <a

<div>All I can say is the steel
tanks rust. Not much you can do
about it. On to my third in my
BJ8. Etching and sealing the
tank is an option, but alot of
work and significant risk to
mess it up.</div>
