Tank cleaning, Or new? Options

[r_towle]

What is the new “best practice” for removing and cleaning a fuel tank?
Car sat for 15 years.
Previously I took a tank to a radiator shop to have him boil it out.
He decided that drilling a 2.5 inch hole on top of the tank, drivers side somehow made sense. He did repair the hole as just normal practice. It looked like shit, I tossed it out.

Just needs fuel system redo and seals.

I also heard someone is making new tanks now?

I just had the tank on my 75 boiled and sealed a few months ago. A radiator shop in Temecula, CA did the work.
The tank cam back nice and the work was done very quickly. It cost about $195.00 when all was said and done.
I was driving my '74 the other day and it started sputtering and spitting. I figured it was time to go through the fuel system in any event, because of it's age. I purchased a Dansk tank for $210.00. It hasn't been delivered yet, still in transit, but for the $15.00 difference, it seems to be a better deal. I know that you have to trim a little off the upper seam for the bridge to fit properly but, that's easy to do and clean up.
