That is the next choice if I can't work a replacement tank out. For those who asked, the tank rusted once, was apparently "fixed" and then undercoated. The "fix" was the installation of one of those electronic rust preventers (the ones that use magic and wires to stop rust). The rust continued under the undercoating to the point where a hole develpoed in the tank. I only found the hole and other rusty underside bits, when trying to fill the tank before Busses No Where Near The Arch last month. At least we had long A/C cables to keep the fridge running.
