<VV> Help with gas tank

[Mark Durham]

Jamie, I'm not aware of a material that can remove the poor seal job. If the
tank is not available as a replacement part, then repair it and do a proper
seal job on top and install a really good filter on the car (I would do two)
to include a clear one so you could watch it for debris. Mark Durham
