Update:
I took the tank out which was a bitch because the passenger side seat was welded to the body on the back perches. I had to hack the seat frame bar and tear out the weld to get it out. Blah blah blah... tank is out. It had a lot of epoxy type of stuff slathered all over the bottom and a couple of fiberglass patches along with a few welded areas, so this tank has had issues before. I scraped all the crap off the bottom of the tank to inspect it further. Overall, the tank was more sound than I thought, but there is a couple of holes that did not get patched properly. I plan to have these welded and sealed. I did a 5 minute flush with water to get as much gas as possible out of the tank and I will have it sit to air out for a couple of days before the welding commences. After which I plan to coat the entire tank in a rubberized coating. Anything else I should consider?
