[TR] Tr 4 gas tank leak

[Joe Curry]

If you have a leak at the point where the adapter is attached to the tank,
it is quite possible that you can braze the connection and stop the leak.  

Just remember if you do, to fill the tank completely with water in order to
purge any remaining fumes after draining the gas.

Subject: [TR] Tr 4 gas tank leak

Well I'm still making progress, just in a backward direction.  After  
putting gas in the tank in anticipation of starting the car for the  
first time, I had to deal with all the gas line leaks of course.  In  
tightening the line to the tank something "gave" and now I have a leak  
at tank.  The threaded sleeve loosened and now leaks gas.  So what do  
I do now?  Can this be fixed or do I need to replace the tank ? Or  
should I just quit while I'm "ahead," put the car together and have a  
garage ornamement to look at but not drive?
Thanks all!
