[DeTomaso] Gas tank bung

[F&D Terry]

Sean,

When I modified my aluminum gas tank for mounting the EFI fuel pump, I 
took it too a local welding shop. At first the owner was reluctant but 
when I suggested that he flood the tank with some of his argon/co2 gas 
he did a great job welding the attachment fittings I had fabricated.
