Agreed - it would likely seal so well, no fuel would come out! In any case, why pay $200 to
repair a tank, when a new one is about the same price? I bought the $160 one from CIP1 a
few years back, and it worked fine. If you want better quality and service, try busdepot,
around the same price, and a Euro brand tank.
