Just oil it, In order to get the oil everywhere, I'd mix some gas with it and slosh it around in there. 2-cycle oil might be best, because it's meant to burn clean. Don't do this indoors! The Bentley manual also has some suggestions, which may be better. Once you get the tank installed, just get everything sealed up and get gas in it, and that will keep it from rusting, but make sure you fix the cracked overflow hose problem or this will just happen again. -- Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
