So..... I knew i needed to coat my gas tank since the car was so old as
well as the condition of my TR4 tank.
To see just how bad it was, I gutted a usb cam and dropped it down my TR2
gas tank expecting to see the worst. It looked great. My tank is galvanized
inside and out.

Anyone else have one like this?
