OK so I got a 914-6 Sportomatic oil tank with my 2.4 engine. The oil tank has an extra outlet compared to a standard tank. This tank is nasty, it has crap inside, dirty, etc. It would need to be boiled and refinished.

What would you do? Boil it and cap the extra outlet and use the tank or sell the tank and just get a new tank? Any of the SF Bay Area people know where I could get this thing cleaned?

Are there any cost effective reproduction tanks out there that I might be over looking? Who has the best price on these blasted things?
