32 gas tank

[RB]

After a carb. rebuild I thought it best to pull my 83 year old gas tank & give it a good look-see inspection...sure enough while a super straight tank, a years ago applied sealer was curling up & coming loose. A trip to a reputable radiator shop quoted $150. to strip $ reseal, however an additional $100. to remove the remaining sealer as it will require a heat treatment to reduce it to ash & guarantee it's removal in & behind the 3 baffles. While I was able to remove most all visible sealer using a heat gun the inaccessible areas probably will remain a possible source for future issues. A new tank upgraded to 14.5 capacity from 11 for $340. & free shipping appears to be the logical choice. Has anyone had liner removal success ??? Thanks,Ron
