Hi people,
I have a bit of a fuel based dilemma. I recently removed the original fuel tank of my 1935 Ruby and discovered the inside is rotten. By rotten I mean full of rust and the gauze above the sump plug was growing a new life form. The bracket holding the fuel sender was also damaged during the removal with some of the threads stripped.
I'm torn as to whether to try and find somebody to restore the original fuel tank or buy a brand new alloy fuel tank to the same specifications. The new fuel tank would provide many years of rust free motoring but would not have the origanilty. Any help or advice would be gratefully received.
Cheers,
Darren
