If that's rust, don't even try to use that tank. You'll spend more fixing it and sealing it on the inside than buying a new one.

New tanks, made in Canada by Spectra, are available for about $200. (Rock Auto)

Interestingly they are better quality than the originals.

PM me about an extra one I have.


New screws usually come with a new sending unit.
