My fuel tank is trashed, I'm running two small filters before the fuel pump, and one after the fuel pump. They work, but I think the restriction is killing my pumps. I would like to find a new tank, but they're seemingly NLA for this year. It has the gravity feed out of the bottom left corner of the tank, no pre-pump. I took it out and went to have it boiled, but he said there's so little metal left, he's worried there would be tons of pinholes. Are these tanks actually NLA? Are all of them that I find going to be just this rusty? There is the option of a fuel cell, but I'd have to retro it to work in place of the old tank, since this isn't a racecar or anything. Thanks in advance for the advice.
