Fuel Tank Question: '60 Val
12K later, Mabelline is up and running. It is just shy of an as-new restoration. Everything busted has been replaced with New Old Stock or a good facsimile. The fuel tank was rusted from the inside out, so not finding any, we opted to coat the inside. First few tank fulls, everything was fine. Didn't leak a drop.
Then, yesterday, gasoline started draining all over the pad while I was filling it. I'm not sure where the leak is coming from, but about half the tank drained before it found its level.
Doesn't seem like a great idea to try resealing it (or does it?) so is there a fuel tank out there? I find tanks on eBay for a '64 to - '67 that are pretty basic, and look like they would comfortable fit around the spare tire well, this before emissions equipment made its debut.
Question, can a '64 tank fit??
