Default Re: 40 gas tank?

Man, oh man, this sucks.
I believe I would strongly consider cleaning this tank out thoroughly and applying a very good grade of sealer.

I always thought Drake's advertising was amusing. On one line it states they are "exactly as original" but then goes on to state they have a larger capacity than original and don't accept the authentic sending unit.
You know, exact only different.
I have had to use his tanks a few times and have been overall pleased. They are wider than the original as well. Oh yeah, "exact as original" only wider.
I have heard from numerous folks that they are nearly impossible to install w/o lifting the rear body or cutting the tank (flanges) shorter.
