The more I get into my 54 TF the more I find. Naturally. I looked down into the gas tank through the fill hole only to see daylight in the corner. Took off the tank and found that the left corner and side each has large holes and the bottom has small holes and the right bottom is rusted through. I took it to awelding shop, but they think the seams and mounting braket are soldered on and they think the tank might leak elsewhere if they weld on it. A new tank is about $1,100. from Moss and that is out of possibility oweing to other items needing repairs. Anybody ever repaired a tank with the bottom in this bad a shape. I thught of Fiberglassing, but they say Ethanol will eat it up. I can buy Ethanol free gas (at a premium price) here in town or use boat gas additive to keep Ethanol from melting the fiberglass. Anyway, your thoughts would be greatly appreciated, as I am a novice with the T series MG. Thanks, Classiccarguy.
