I don't know how bad the rust spot is = (a pin hole can lead to a good drip) but you can have the tank sand = blasted, painted, and then coated on the inside with some sort of = plastic composite. My brother did this in his '78. If you = wasn't more info let me know and I'll ask him the details.

after market fuel tank
I need to replace the fuel tank in my =
'84. (Was hoping that replacing the
seals would do the trick but leak is =
from rusted through area).
I have prices from two local =
suppliers. Bow Wow has one for $322(Can).
California imports can order one they =
say is made in Brazil for $203(Can).
Has anyone had any bad experiences = with inexpensive replacement fuel tanks?
Thanks in advance.
