Hi Guys I need some help herewith my 1930 Coupe. I have water leaking in at the welting between the fuel tank and the cowl panel on both sides . Also I find there are no "C" clamps 2 each side as they say in the books it should have . Is this uncommon? I would like to know if I can lift the fuel tank some how only a fraction of an inch to be able to squirt some silicon or similar to prevent the water leak. I would at that stage try to get a better snug fit with the welting which it does not at present. It was poorly fitted by the previous owner sadly. Any suggestions please ? I do not want to go the whole way to removing this fuel tank. thanks guys. John from Australia.
