Needing an oil tank for my 72 H2 restore. I need a leak/crack free tank. Mine is decent condition but leaking, or more like, weeping from the middle seam. Thanks, please help!!

Thats getting to be a VERY common problem, it would appear that some of the older oils make the plastic go brittle and it either breaks or fractures :problem:

I've got a couple of tanks that haven't had oil in them for 36 years, but they are in Australia.....! :)
