Boy, I  wish it was. I put some gas in the tank before all this happened 
and found  it leaking this afternoon. About 10 years ago, it was leaking 
and I  treated it with POR15. Apparently, it is NOT a permanent fix. I 
now have  to figure out how to get all the (apparently useless)  POR15 
out and  some other treatment back in before I can drive it. At $3.65 per 
gallon  for gas, a pin hole can bankrupt you!




Ten years on a treated tank isn't too bad. Most times the treatment usually 
 comes loose from the tank and clogges the entire fuel system. BTDT. Russ  
used to NOT recommend treating the fuel tanks, due to the "sealer" plugging 
vent  lines and passages inside the fuel tank. I'd personally look for a 
tank from out  west to use. You can always clean the "new" tank, if it's 
needed. Late tanks are  fairly easy to find in the Samba classifieds, and Jim 
offers a kit to keep water  from entering the tank, and keeping "pin holes" from 
happening.
