zolt..your scaring the isht out of the poor guy..      the ID plate is
superficial.. if they look scaly or have alot of rust  underneath, i just
grind them
off and chuck them.   Manchester  was retarted for affixing the ID plates this
way anyway..  ive seen  scaly rust under the ID plate but NEVER a hole thru or
even a weak  spot..

Chris, Chris, Chris, your  not telling the truth again.  I have personally
seen many tanks with a hole  big enough on some of them to put my hand right
into the tank under that data  tag.  Not enough salt on the roads in PA ?  Come
on up here to Ontario  where road salt is King !
