[Healeys] Gas Tank Restoration/sealer Kits

[Dave Murphy]

I bought a new steel tank from Moss for about $264 including shipping.
I thought this compared pretty favorably with the cost of a couple of sealing
kits and and a couple of cleanings on my old tank over the 20 years that I
expect my new tank to last.
