[Spridgets] One step forward & two steps back

[Robert Weeks]

After some serious procrastinating I finally got around to installing 
the new speed bleeders and finally got the brakes bled properly. Since 
that went so smoothly I figured I'd drained the diff and put in fresh 
oil. When I was laying down there wrapping things up on the diff I 
noticed a damp spot on the bottom of the gas tank. I thought that was 
odd and wiped the spot with a rag. As soon as I did that two two pinhole 
leaks sprang up on the bottom of the gas tank. I wasn't expecting that one.

I got a container to catch the gas and siphoned what I could out of the 
tank. Is there any fix for this other than a new gas tank? I'm figuring 
that there isn't but it never hurts to ask. I have a non-leaking (for 
the moment) gas tank on my parts car but that tank is older than this 
one so it's probably a false economy to try to move that one over.

Has anyone replaced a gas tank lately? It looks pretty straight forward 
but if there are any unexpected gotchas I'd appreciate knowing.

Thanks in advance,

Robert
