Another newbie question. Just bought a 73 2.0 and took it to a local Porsche mechanic to check. All is well, but he says I need a new fuel tank, as it's full of rust. Enough to clog injectors, so mus tdo something. Porsche doesn't make them any more, but he knew of a place that 'rebuilds' them @ about $400.

Ouch! Ideas?
