As I disassembled my '59 TR3A TS 58667, I took out the gas tank, threw in some
plain old sand, agitated like a maniac, then at last filled with water and
Simple Green, agitated some more, rinsed, then filled with mixture of water
and phosphoric acid to clean out residual rust.B Soak, looking for leaks.B
Then rinse, rinse, rinse, and rinse again.B Dry with the exhaust end of a
vacuum cleaner.B Coat the exterior with POR 15.B
...Only for me to discover...gadfrey!...that the DPO had replaced the original
with a Spitfire gas tank.B i
Anyone need a completely restored Spitfire gas tank?????
