We pulled the '82 tank yesterday and it's got a lot of crud in it and what looks like some tarry substance on the bottom. It also has chunks of what looks like rust, and I can't figure out where those might be coming from. It's very hard to see in the tank. The '84 tank, however is much cleaner to appearances. I'm seriously considering using it even though it cost me $37 to get the diesel tank working in the first place. :-( On the other hand, the '84 filler tube is plastic with metal top, and that metal top is pretty rusted. I'll bet that plastic filler tube costs a bit. Of course, now I have all this gas to deal with. I wish I had somewhere to dump it. -- Gerry (out of commission again) Gerald Skerbitz <gsker@med.umn.edu> U of MN Med School Admin 6-5379 Home St. Paul,Ramsey County,Minnesota, USA
