Hi foks.
Thanks to everyone who admonished me not to weld, or in any other
way, bring flame near to my gas tank. Turned out to be a moot point
as my tank is in fine condition (thank you, thank you very much).
No corrosion - just a less than diligent previous owner.
I dropped the tank, found no obvious corrosion so I checked the seal
at the hole for the sending unit and found my culprit. The sending
unit within looked brand new as did the gasket (or O-Ring, I don't
know the difference!) but there were pebbles on, and under, the seal.
Removed the gasket, cleaned out the gunk, resealed and tested. No
leaks - me smiling!
With a full tank, I guess I can make it to the grocery store AND
back. ; )
Thanks again to all who provided advice.
Chris.
