I kinda fixed it I hope.
I put it on axel stands under the trailing arm bushing, got the tank off and broke both hanging bolts in the process. I zip wheeled the surface rust that was around the filler neck area, as I was tilting the tank in different directions, the area under the filler neck where the rust was started leaking. I patched it with LEAK FIX from Halfords, let it set for a few days, brushed on some Zinc on the leak fix and the full seam of the tank. Rimmers for new bolts, clamps and new feed pipe, tank back on, job done. MG is back.
