This recent talk about gas tanks is making me nervous.  My 79 has never =
had the tank removed im sure, I can only imagine the 23 years of crud =
that is at the bottom of it.  It is not running yet anyway, should I =
pull it and tempt the VW gods that Ill find something  Ill need to fix?  =
what do you think I'll find in there?   Isn't the filler spout/neck =
prone to rust or other problems? =20
(feel the fear and do it anyway...feel the fear and.....)
