My 65 Alon header tank had been repaired somewhere along the line.  It appeared to have J B Weld applied over several pinhole leaks.  It was weeping fuel at these repairs. I was advised that welding repair is completely out of the question.  I ordered and received a new tank from UNIVAIR.  It had the plumbing for their Service Bulletin A 19, which is not in my airplane, and it had different bracketing which did not fit my insatallation. I returned the tank for credit, and contacted John Wright , Jr. He will completely refurbish a tank for about $400, and his work is excellent.  Of course, he cannot provide a yellow tag. I would not recommend "just repairing, not overhauling" a leaking tank, nor would I recommend having anyone other than John do the work,
