How do you check the gas tank?? The message I have received loud and clear from this forum is that on the older classics you need to replace the gas tank. You may replace one with significant corrosion prior to a potential deadly explosion --- good move. Or, you may remove one with little or no corrosion --- wasted effort. However, I have never heard about any method of knowing the condition of the tank prior to pulling the deck and digging the tank out. Ed
