So, folks have found ways to re-form their tanks, then? My TD tank is
deformed and no longer provides me with much fuel confidence below

successfully driven into the reserve without running short on fuel.
Are you sure the tank

Being a franchise, the operator is giving you whatever warranty, not MACO.
I'd be very explicit in respect what I will be getting for my money.
A co-worker went to a MACO shop and got a quote for $ 450. He wound up being
charged over $ 1,000.
