from "Red Gas" on the 912TF

So I'm playing with my parts car tonight and decide to remove the gas tank. I lift the
edge 1mm w a flat screwdriver, just to guage how full it is and whoosh, the rubber hose
at the base splits and there is gas all over the place. Buckets (hauled away almost 9
gallons) and rags and awhile later we clean up and I keep thinking this red gas smells
horrible. I pulled the fuel sender - red - as in jelly jam red - up to apparently the "gas
line" and then the standard aluminum color. After I got the tank out I found the rubber
line was dried, cracked, and waiting like time bomb.
