[T2] [Q] Gas Tank Restoration

[Dave Gillingham]

FWIW, I had a pretty hard time with the POR-15 gas tank restoration kit.  Next time, I will just take the tank to a radiator shop and have it boiled out.  They can also line the tank for you.

    I used Por-15 in my 71 tank about 14 years ago. So far so good.
