I have flaking rust on the bottom of my lateral fuel tanks, but no idea how big an issue it is. As far as I can tell there are no inspection ports anywhere to help with assessment, although I suspect rust issue is mostly an 'outside to inside' issue.
I'm told that knowing the original thickness of the black iron that the tanks were made of will help assess the issue. Has anyone removed/replaced tanks, or know someone who has done this AND knows what the original steel gauge was?
