I picked up a 46-48 gas tank a while back and I'm getting it ready to clean it out.
-I put some heat on the drain plug and the outlet noticed what looked like little metal beads. Are these lead soldered?
-it looks like there's a line in the tank that runs to the plate. Can that t taken off?
-last question can I fill some pin holes with lead solder?
