[urq] URQ fuel tank

[Steve Mills]

You should be able to remove it and have it professionally repaired. Since
it's almost entirely in the body shell, it's rare for them to rust badly
(unless the floor under the tank is compromised) so it should be a pretty
easy repair.

As previously discussed, drain it first. It's difficult to maneuver even
empty.

On the PS hose, Pirtek is in the US also. I've had them rebuild the
pump-to-bomb hose several times with excellent results- should be about
$100. The only caveat is you want to make sure they match the original
length as closely as they can- I got one rebuilt that was maybe an inch and
a half short. I didn't think it would be enough to matter (I didn't notice
until I got it back and compared it to the spare I took out) but I couldn't
get the banjo bolts to thread- I had to take it back and have them redo it.
