A local shop has reviewed my polluted & rusted fuel cell and has
proposed to charge me $500 CDN to perform the following work ...
- steam clean tank
- acid wash interior
- neutralize interior
- coat interior
- fix and reseal rollover valve
- replace existing pick-up line
- fix existing pick-up line seal
- replace banjo fitting with 3/8 AN connector
- install second pick-up line with 3/8 AN connector
Question: am I getting a good deal?
My do-it-yourself solution would include doing the first four steps in
my garage (acid? yuck!), finding my own AN connectors and buying a new
rollover value and a new sending unit (with integrated second pick-up
line). The last two items would easily cost me $200 USD, which means
more like $400 CDN by the time exchange and shipping was factored. My
current sending unit works fine.
Just thinking out loud here. I appreciate your thoughts ...
Thanks,
EA #3528
