Eventually it rusted again. Also, there is a filter on the end of the pickup pipe that the sealer will clog. In my opinion is it not worth the time, effort and money. I ended up buying the classic gold tank from Moss. It is an excellent reproduction.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'><img width=811 height=129 style='width:8.45in;height:1.3416in' id="Picture_x0020_1" src="cid:image001.png@01DBAAFD.1B43FD50"></span><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'>Cheers,<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'>John<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'>’62 BT7<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #E1E1E1 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'>From:</span></b><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'> Healeys <healeys-bounces@autox.team.net> <b>On Behalf Of </b>Al Fuller<br><b>Sent:</b> Friday, April 11, 2025 2:00 PM<br><b>To:</b> Shop Talk <Shop-talk@autox.team.net>; Ahealey help <healeys@autox.team.net><br><b>Subject:</b> [Healeys] Gas Tank Restoration<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Segoe UI",sans-serif'>I am in the process of reviving a car that has sat for several years.
