Ed,
You might want to check these guys (http://www.gas-tank.com/) out. Someone
on the list highly recommended them. I emailed them and here's the reply I
got.

If no holes or a lot of rust it will probably be at the lower range.
$200 to $300 (+ship/ins) depending on the condition of the tank and the
repairs needed before we begin our process.
Shipping and insurance around $25 +/- depending on size and weight of box.
Must be under 130 inches (length plus girth) to ship UPS or FedEx
Joseph will call with the exact $$$ before starting any repairs. If you
decide not to proceed with our process, the tank will be returned
immediately.
Our turn around is about two weeks at the present time but we never know
what will arrive each day or what problems may arise with your tank.
Please check out <http://www.gas-tank.com/FAQ.htm> for more information on
shipping etc...
Fill out <http://www.gas-tank.com/hardcopy.htm> to send with your tank.
Thank you for the inquiry. Hope to hear from you.

Subject: gas tank lining
Now a legit question. 4 yrs ago when I got my 3a and stripped out the
interior to tally parts needed I pulled gas tank too. It was rusty.
Removed that and got small pin holes. Searched web & found liquid tank liner
so took it to my reputable radiator shop, They said yes could do.
Took it home and put in gas. (Thank some higher power) I didn't actually get
any of the gas into carbs or further before I saw blue in the gas same color
as liner. Further web search revealed there are 2 types of liner.
Apparently one is reactive to alcohol as in ethanol. Also as I'm in Cal I'm
wondering if our MTBE has an effect. I see that Moss has tank liner that has
an etcher for the 1st step. Suggestions please,what should I do now? Tank is
still w/suspicious liner in it. Again the price of a new one is pretty silly
for what it is, a baffled box w/threaded i/o. I might even open up this tank
to salvage baffles and threaded i/o and fabricate a new tank (box). Thanks
Ed 3a
