Nope, but I suppose it's close! Montana FERN GREEN. THe interior is done in
SHOCK GREEN.

Yup, it's a Nashcan. Nash was stodgy but Nash was not cheap.

Umm, yeah, ....



Has anyone worked with JB weld INSIDE a fuel tank?

I'm skeptical about 100% immersion in gasoline for extended periods. I don't
know of anything that survives it except Viton, Buna-N and such.


The tank in the car obviously is more "bomb" material than I even

I put a shop vac on blow and stuck the hose in the filler neck until I could
smell nothing come out, then washed it with purple stuff (garage floor
cleaner). Ain't no gas in there then.


I also have an old fashioned, heat it with a torch soldering Iron.

But solder has no strength, it's really weak. But it's a GREAT sealer -- if
you can get in there with a torch, mount the baffle with brass screws and
solder it after. But I suppose a baffle just sits flat in there, solder
would probably be plenty strong for that on second thought.
