Looking good mate.

I've got that exact fuel tank!

Looking good mate.

The tempary tank was necessary to move the van in and out of the spray booth. We dropped the fuel tank only to find the most putrid contents. 14 year old stale fuel along with moisture that has most probably formed from condensation resulted in a tank that needed some loving. **** it stank.

I sent the tank off to the local radiator repair mob who thoroughly cleaned it and applied a chemical lining that is impervious to fuel. Probably the best $350 spent during the restoration. Oh and of course while the boys were cleaning the tank they discovered that the fuel quantity sender unit was shagged; another $137.

Thank God for Rare Spares and the Internet, to date they have had all the bits and pieces that I have needed.
