Have the same problem, found a missing rivet on the outlet boss of BOTH
fuel
tanks.  Someone had installed a pop rivet and they were leaking badly.  I
am
in the middle of a restoration and will take the tanks apart (over 200
rivets per tank) and fix the bosses.  Then reassemble them.  There was an
article in Coupe Capers a few years ago concerning tank disassembly and
repair.  I figure with everything in hand, I can disassemble one tank in
about an hour and after repairs put it together again with two helpers in
about three hours.  A good days work.  The reason for three?  one to
rivet,
one to hold the tank and one to get really messed up with the PRC sealant,
I have a 14 year old grandson who is dying to help, guess who gets dirty.
