That is the next choice if I can't work a replacement tank out.  For those
who asked, the tank rusted once, was apparently "fixed" and then
undercoated.  The "fix" was the installation of one of those electronic
rust preventers (the ones that use magic and wires to stop rust).  The rust
continued under the undercoating to the point where a hole develpoed in the
tank.  I only found the hole and other rusty underside bits, when trying to
fill the tank before Busses No Where Near The Arch last month.  At least we
had long A/C cables to keep the fridge running.
