My Mk1 filler neck was the source of rust that got into my fuel system
and screwed up my old Solex carb.  I thought first it was the tank
itself, but (after pulling it all apart..grrrr) it was only the neck.

Having no source for a Mk1 filler (are they different?) I took mine to
a "gas tank re-nu" shop I found in the LA area.  For 35usd they
blasted and recoated it with the same process they use on tanks.  No
more problems since (about 2 years).
