There are two styles of M38A1 CDN fuel tank. (Rob taught me this.) The two earlier contracts have sheet metal stamped tanks. The CDN3 has a much more robust welded flat plate tank. All will deteriorate! On my CDN3 the issue is the tank got punky and has been fibreglassed in place, hopefully to stop the rusting. However, the resin has stuck it into place, which makes it hard to remove.
