10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>I will be picking my tank up today from
the radiator shop that repaired it. Ok, no rust through in my tank, in
fact, it was in pretty good shape. The shop first cut a whole through the
side of the tank so they could get inside and completely clean the inside,
including removing the original coating. They then welded the hole back
up, thoroughly cleaned the inside and out, then coated the inside with a
fuel-impervious flexible coating and painted the outside. Total cost
$250.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>They would have brazed/welded any holes,
and, given that the coating protects the metal, would have given me back a
functional tank if they had to fix holes.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
