how's the inside??

 

[Volcanic Iceberg]

I pulled the sending unit and the inside is very clean. I was surprized. no rust at all. When I pulled the rubber hoses off, one of the tips of the breather lines has corroded and will need to be cleaned up with a dremel tool. Still very usable. I will clean it up for you prior to shipping. It will just be slightly shorter on that one line but plenty of room to attach a clamp. let me know.

I lived in Bethlehem 2 years ago. Great town. Did you see the new transformers movie filmed at the old mill?

couldn't get real close to the action.... but there was all kinds of crazy chinese characters up and down the stacks and they left some of the lighting after they finished. It looks cool alternating colors on the stacks.... got any pics??

military vehicles flying around was pretty cool since they filmed it at 2:00 am or so....

Here are a couple pics. I went over it with a 3m pad so you could see what your working with. It has been out in the desert sun for a long time so its not too pretty to look at. I noticed a ding on the top rear edge near the fill spout, and there actually is some pitting on the bottom, but its not real deep. If your looking for perfect restoration quality, you might want to keep looking, but if you want a tank with minimal rust that holds gas, This would work great.
