Absolutely, need to get it out into the daylight and see what shape
its really in.  *If* the PO had bothered to tell me about this little
issue I would have done that before I went and put another 10 gallons
in.  Luckily we have a couple of other cars that can take that on
pretty quickly.

New tanks seem to be in the ballpark of $170, a bit of an expense but
still not worth TOO much effort trying to salvage the old one if it's
margnial.
