488 1/27/2002 9:06:18 AM 1/27/2002 Dick Quirk quirkrjiii@cs.com '78 Newell Fuel Tank Leaking My fuel tank has begun seeping diesel, apparently at the weld seams holding the mounting plates on the tank itself. Those mounting plates are L shaped, and flare out, providing a hole for bolting the tank to the frame of the coach. There is also considerable rust on the bottom of the tank, so I am assuming the tank needs replacement. We live in the DC area. The seep is probably less than a cup over a month long period as the Coach sits still. Don't know what we are losing while traveling. Recommendations for repair or replacement?
