Gawd this is getting annoying, but: Pulled the gas tank outa the '71. Looked really good. No damage, hardly any rust, didn't even rattle when I shook it. Until I got to the spot where the dash drain was. The right drain had plugged with pine needles and crud, and built a little water trap right against the tank. When I pushed on the rust, a nice, 3/4" rust hole opened up in the tank! Moral of the story? Keep those drains clear! If they plug, clear 'em! Saves your pan, saves your gas tank.
