If i could only find a gas tank fix without removing the tank, got a few small drips and the black stuff in my filter cant be good for my motor if it gets through. I'm thinking of an auxillary tank.

I had the same problem. Had a small leak I could not get fixed and a bunch of stuff inside the tank. So I did take the tank out of the car even after I had the body on. Mine is a 29 so it was not that much of a problem-had to take the windshield out, all the bolts around the tank on the firewall, took the steering wheel mounting off. I did not have the wireing in yet so it was a little easer. But it came out rather easy. Then I cleaned it out well and got a coating kit from one of the vendors to coat the iniside. It stopped the leak and so far have had no trouble with it at all. With a little extra effort, I would think it would be worth it and so you would not have to get another tank.

If you need info on the kit I purchased, PM me and I will look it up.
