Hi Nick

It is safe to say the things happened at a rather fast pace early in the war.

As any one tried to dismantle such an oval cover.... if they are brass as you and Mike have stated is should be relatively easywitht he brass/stell configuration..... what will I find inside???

I intend to runsomekind of fairly exotic and permanent sealer on the inside.... what will it do to the reserve valve and reserve section of the tank????

My expereince with reserve valve is limited to the older VW which we used to make dune buggies..... I realize that I am dating myself...hahaha.... it was nothing but a valve that allowed the driver to draw on the very bottom of the tank to get another one or two liter of gas........ and there was a screened gasline intake.

The chemical coating (called POR 15) that I propose to use is basically a crazy glue with color pigmentation.... very very permanent.... and I do not want to plug up any screened intake or glue up some valve or reserve section.....

What is your advice????

..and since we are talking tanks...... the floor has a valve system to switch from one tank and the other.... and the dash has a switch that... I believe.... will switch the gas reading of the gage from the one tank to the other..... and then a reserve switch on the tank...... that explains the necessity for the POW containers has they would undoubtedly screw up and run out of gas!!!!

Any tips on putting on a patch to a tank with a rusted out hole on the bottom???
I would like to salvage the second tank from the ex-water truck since it has the longer filler neck.....

Be nice to yourself...
