Yeah, may last car was my 48 Club Sedan. I burned 2 and a half days with my car guy trying to fix the old one. It had been fixed once before with something resembling tar and asphalt. He had to cut the tank in half and spend 2 days trying to get the previous fix off the tank before he could fix it.

He called me and said he had seen someone advertising exact repros of the Packard tank. This car he is working on is my father's. It has 3 fuel filters and they all are full or rust.

We were wondering why there was an electronic fuel filter after the mechanical one. Now we know.

Soooo..... the additional ones are going in the trash and instead of trying to fix this rusty tank dear old dad is springing for a new one.
