Thanks guys, you convinced me, I'll repair the tank cover in the fall, and leave the tank alone until it needs to be replaced.

In the meantime, I'm just enjoying the V!

I had that same dilemma this spring...I even have the tank already...a custom made aluminum that came out of a 86 V20 about 3-4 years old....had the hatch off to fiberglass it...took one look at the tight fit and all that foam and said......NFW

I would have the tank pressure tested....mine was foamed in and looked OK from the top....I pulled it anyway to clean it out as I was having fuel/engine problems...it was a pain because it was foamed in, but I'm glad I did because I had thin spots and a few pin holes in the tank which I would have never seen unless it was pulled or tested.....bought a new tank.....it was on a 87 v20

ROFL (I'll even bet I know where you got the tank)

If God didn't have a purpose for us we wouldn't be here, so
Live simply, Love generously, Care deeply, Speak kindly.

Silence, in the face of evil, is itself evil. Not to speak is to speak, not to act is to act. God will not hold us guiltless.
