Sage ones please advise! My 67 B just wee-'d all over me whilst changing
the right rear shock. It looks like I've got a pinhole leak in the tank
bottom. The sticker is still on this particular tank, the part number
translates out to a BMH 12 gallon tank from Moss. The DPO changed it out
about 3 years ago he said, and the condition of the fasteners confirms his
statement. I really don't want to change fuel tanks every 3-4 years myself.
The question is...where to go (or what to do to the tank) to get an MGB tank
that won't rust out in normal service in 10 years or more? The impossible
dream?
BTW, the defuelling operation was helped along immensely by use of the
former fuel pump (7 psi, swapped out for an E8016) powered by a battery
charger. Makes it less dangerous and faster. Note that I had to connect a
large electrolytic capacitor across the supply to get the pump to oscillate
happily...it must not like ripply DC. All this with the tank merrily
pissing away into an oil drain pan.
