anyone ever had a fuel tank repaired instead of replaced. Mine is really in bad shape inside. having trouble locating a replacement. found some places online about repairing them, but don't know if it is a trustworthy solution.

Re: fuel tank repair
is your old tank leaking??
they arn't that hard to clean. i use a pressure washer to clean th cunk and residue from the 40years of crap. then look and see what it looks like if real bad then will treat with muratic acid{swimming pool chemical) tthen rince again with clear water let dry and if in doubt i coat with POR15 tank sealer. have never had any problems doing it this way and a pretty cheap fix

Re: fuel tank repair
As 'junkyardjohn' said. I have an extra behind the seat tank. I am a local Glendale resident too so let me know if you need that type.

Haven't been on in a while... Update on the 68... Found a new replacement fuel tank at a pretty neat place called Brothers in Southern California... Replaced the tank and it solved the problem....Apparently the inside of the old tank had been refinished years ago and was peeling off and getting into the fuel causing so many problems. Humbled to say its up and running great...starts right up and runs like a champ...Thanks for all the help out there!!
