They send them out to I think the same guy that does the radiator repairs. Mark has a parts washer, but not much good on inside stuff, or something as large and odd shaped as the fuel tank. If I can't find a decent used tank that will clean up for a total of around $200, I think I am going to buy a new one.
I couldn't keep the 83 at home with a leaking tank, so I dropped it at Devitos the day before I left for Alaska, and its starting to wear out its welcome, so I may need to decide tomorrow.
My thought is the factory tank is good for 20 to 30 years, so its a bit nuts to buy a 20 year old one if you plan to keep the car. OTOH issues with the tank are pretty obvious, and the tank swap isn't a huge chore, so if I can find one cheap, I'm on it.
