<div>Mike,</div>

<div>Thanks, Hopefully that information will be helpful to Arch and perhaps others.<br clear="all"></div>
<div>I looked into using their services years ago for an old Mercedes I once had. I heard that do good work. However, I found a NOS gas tank for the old Mercedes and went that way.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thanks for jogging my memory I had forgotten about them.</div>

Like I said ‘Not Cheap, but it’s Gasoline” all I could see is the tank full cruising down the road and something going terribly wrong and having a car full of gas.<u></u><u></u></span></p>

You might check with Eastwood. The key to a good seal is the inside of the tank must be flawless. Otherwise the stuff just peals off and makes a mess.<br clear="all">

<p class="MsoNormal"> Another option is to abandon that pickup and have a radiator shop install a threaded bushing (a drain fitting from a radiator is exactly when you want) in the top of the tank. the position should be like the picture. From there you can attach a tube to a fitting. Be sure to cut the bottom of the tube at a 45 degree angle and also keep the tube at least 1/4 inch from the bottom of the tank. If the tank has the screen filter be sure to position the new draw tube so it mates up with the screen. <u></u><u></u></p>

<p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM:12pt" class="MsoNormal">This is the way the parts book says the gas tank should be set up. However, my Magnette doesn't have the banjo nut on the top of the tank for gas line. My tank has a rubber hose located approx 1 1/2 inches under the large rubber filler tube for gas line that goes to the fuel pump. This afternoon I replaced the fuel pump ( which was a waste of time and energy). Disconnecting the fuel line from tank should have spilled out a bit of gas. Nothing. Blowing into gas line I could hear air entering gas tank.... Filter not clogged ( if there is one). So.... The pickup tube in the tank must be loose/goofed up. Has anyone replaced/ repaired this pickup? Hate to go in completely blind. Arch<br>
