I get my two fuel tanks back from the panel shop this afternoon. They did good work and I will only need to apply very minimal filler to the areas they repaired. That & a couple of insignificant dents to be filled as well.

I have been thinking about the fuel filter that goes on back of battery box base. Would prefer one with a glass portion, so I can see any sediment or contamination, and remove it easily with the base plug out. There are a couple of suitable candidates available. So I may just install the original one in a cosmetic capacity, with the lines in/out going nowhere, but disappearing from sight. The 'real' filter could be hidden on opposite side of chassis rail (I.E: inward side & under cab). That way I get best of both worlds, modern functionality & original appearance on the visible side. This is looking the most likely way I will go.

Have sent enquirines to local (<100km) paint shops, asking about fuel tank treatment sets such as the KBS Fuel Tank Sealer Kit, which is a three part set suitable for tanks up to 100L. In this case, two tanks of roughly total size combined.

If I get an acceptable reply, I might be heading down to Nambour to buy same, this Saturday.
