Hello,

I know there are several brickboarders who use a DIY process for rust, but I do not know if those process' can handle holes.

As I write, we are in the process of having a gas tank for a 1973 1800es repaired by the local ReNu facility.

Our tank has rust holes on the outside of the top and is actually not rusty inside.

We are waiting to hear from the ReNu shop to see if the rust goes through to the seam.

If rust holes have formed in the seam, the tank CAN NOT be fixed.

So I checked on the price for a new reproduction gas tank for the customer and they are $500.00 which is more than the ReNu repair.

The ReNu warranty is a life time warranty.

The new repro tanks warranty is a year.
