When I bought my tudor, it had a terrible gas tank leak. It was leaking from numerous spots and it was full of rust so I decided to find a new tank and replace it. Luckily, a fellow club member had the exact tank I need so I purchased it from him. The tank was very close to rust free but I decided to have it washed out and pressure tested at a trusted radiator shop. I got it back, installed it. There were no leaks and all was good until today. After 4 months of no leaks, it decided to start leaking at the choke rod support. Now how should I repair it? I almost assume that it needs to come out, which I'm fine with doing but how would I repair in a way that will last me the rest of my lifetime.
