Good news, the stainless tank will cost you mega bucks mate. Even an alloy one will be costly. Not sure if such a thing needs to be certified for road use.

Glad you got through OK.

When I had my exhaust from Powerflow I got them to underseal the car, hope it covered the fuel tank!!

but it wont cover the upperhalf of the tank as it needs to be removed for that.while it was up on the ramp i could se that the top half was rusty also

drop it out n kurust it, then primer it with hammerite special metals primer, which seems to stick to even hot things then a coat of your prefered colour of hammerite

problem solved

Last time I derusted a petrol tank was on my Hillman Hunter, took a wire brush to the rust and .................................. bu**er. Petrol started flowing out of all the nice little holes.

Down to the scrap yard for another one.

Might see if I can get Waxoyl stuff up there, alright for you with a ramp on hand.
