<VV> When i fill my gas tank on my 65 corvair

[D. Barry Ellison]

Mike,

I just saw this less than three months back on my 65 red convertible, 
restored by PO.  (I.e. no idea on tank or fuel line age.)  I filled the tank 
one day and saw a big wet spot under the tank.  I looked at the hoses best I 
could and didn't see a leak or dry rot.  I pulled the tank (correct, NOT 
FUN!) and since the hoses looked good, I pressurized the tank with spit at 
the base of the inlet and vent.  I got bubbles.   :(  A little epoxy took 
car of the problem.  No troubles since.  (At least not with leaks)
