avant leaking fuel

[Kneale Brownson]

You don't have to "remove" the rear drive train--just short of it if you
have a lift to work under.    I replaced my leaking fool tank this summer.
This task prompted my purchase of a hoist.  Mine leaked from that seam, but
there were many rusty spots elsewhere on the tank.  I'm saving the old tank
to be refurbished when needed for replacing the tank in one of the V8s.
There are some posts in the archives about removing the heat shielding,
cleaning up the seam area and caulking with one of those tank sealer kits.
That might have worked for a while, but the rust other than on that seam
tells me my tank would have leaked from an unreachable spot eventually.
