All -
I'd like to have an original style tank to replace the cheap Mexican
copy that I bought 20 years ago from the Austin Healey Store in LA
(this tank has now rusted through). I'm a bit concerned about
corrosion, so I was curious if I should purchase an aluminum tank
(possible galvanic corrosion risk to the car frame) or Moss's new
"high quality repro" metal tank with zinc prepped steel like original.
I'm not really all that interested in the stainless tanks out there,
they don't look anywhere close to original.
What are your thoughts on this? Maybe if I just give the ALI tank a
very good strong coat of paint and put on neoprene pads, then risk of
galvanic corrosion should be minimal, correct?
