Letting a gas tank sit empty for a long time is asking for trouble. Why not pull out the tank sensor and look down in there with a flashlight. I'm biased, but I really hate the various tank sealants. I think that in the long term they come back to haunt you. A tank kept full of gas and gas fumes really won't rust much on its own. - Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ------------------------------------------------------------------- Search old messages on the Web!
