Re: IML: Gas tank refurbing

[nypianoman@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Hi, welcome to the wonderful world of leaky gas tanks.   My story is long.  But, I purchased replacement floats, grummet and filter from Gastanks.com

I believe, AtlasObsolete.com sells sending units.

Just curious, is your mechanic using the gas tank reneu process?
